So to add to the pics above, this is the underside sprayed with a thin coat (to allow pre-shading through), I custom mixed the color using my Mk.II eyeball. It looked good being sprayed.

So I then did the gray on the upper surfaces, remembering to put dark colors on top of light ones instead of the other way around. When it came time for the darker green I put some sticky-tack on the edges, hard to have the soft/hard edge used by the RAF with other means, right?

More than one bad thing happened.

1.) Worst (by far) is that I mixed the Mr Color acrylic with some distilled water and struggled immediately getting my airbrush to spray. It took me a while to figure out that the owner of the local hobby shop was a fugging idiot and Mr. Color is not acrylic! I was able to correct in-progress, and continue (without pictures as I was stressing) to get the green down. It turned out okay, considering.

2.) When I removed the mask with sticky-tack, I found it was too adhesive or sticky. Lines where it was used are CLEASRLY visible!

So I was considering the need to re-apply the gray now. Until I saw that the difference between to top gray and the underside gray was different but BARELY.  Starting to be mad at Tamiya for not having the correct color in the jars, but my underside was only slightly lighter than the upper.

I put the kit aside for a bit to think about solutions.
