Dutch Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX

Chris Baer
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.

Jan Peters
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.

Chris Baer
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.

Niceee, H-53 on the to do list here too!

Welkom Erik 🙂
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 too🙂
