Hey Chuk, glad to hear my masking suggestion worked out. That's my good deed for the day done. Looking forward to the next update.

I have heard of and considered the stretchy plastic bag method, but was put off this method as I wasn't sure how I would be able to ensure the masked area would be perfectly level / parallel to the base of the spinner.

After a long break, I've returned to aircraft modelling and to get back into it, I'm building a series of 1:48 scale WWII fighters, starting with a Mk1 Hurricane. My problem is with the undercarridge colour suggested by airfix i.e. humbrol matt no. 90. It's a light green, but after testing it on some paper, it just doesn't look right. I've not got great reference photos to use as a guide, but the ones I have vary from a light grey to a bone / cream
