I have finally managed to get to the painting stage of my Hobby Boss 1/32 P-39. I pre-shaded the undersurface with black and the upper surface with RLM 70 black green, before applying the medium grey and olive drab on the upper surfaces. I then used splatter etched frets to add a bit of weathering in the form of blotchiness over the upper surfaces.
Next up will be the painting of the markings.

Oh man! That really “splaines” it clearly! … And I love that you used my favorite “S” word (subtle) more than once. I only have one wingy-thingy in the stash, and if I ever do get around to it, it’s this sort of thinking I’ll adopt before proceeding to paint. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
Cheers!

Thanks, Mike and no problem I love sharing what I do and especially the next part which I think that you are really going to like. I’ll be posting the start of it later today 
Err…Hem… Mal that’s not a Spitfire!
Anyway that being said I have a weird soft spot for the P-39/P-400 series especially when in the Pacific theatre. Oh and nice paint work
