All Tamiya mate plus Tamiya XF80 as a primer and Xtracrylics Flat coat. Had to mix the colours to get, what I thought to be, the right colours. Believe it or not Tamiya don't do the right colours out of the bottle for early WWII RAF...!!! Should of mixed up 10ml worth for future builds.....lol

Ha ha just as I mention in the upcoming paint videos, you really need to try some xtracylics mate as they are spot on for raf colours, intact all the colours are perfect.
