Nice project. I'll be interested to see what paint you choose for the "Jungle Green" on H 53. I've got that one in the build queue myself. I've picked up various blue greens, bronze greens, and dark greens but haven't been able to decide on one yet.

I have been thinking about that as well, I have a lifecolour paint intended for Israeli uniforms that is a nice dark green I may use for this. I will have to look into this later, and maybe try to find a colour match in one of my reference books.
FS34056 should be a close match.

That looks like a good target color. I was hovering around the FS34079 area, or maybe a RLM73 (or even Real Colors 332 IJAAF#27 Ao Midori Iro, since I'm a lacquer painter). I'll check out your suggestion. Thanks for the tip, and best of luck on the build.

This one, and the other spits, have been in the back of my mind for quite some time, and after the Hurricane it made sense to do the spitfires tooπŸ™‚
