I always use primer; better adherence for the camouflage paint...

You can slightly sand the surfaces. The result will be the same.

Never tried this way... To be tested of course. Thanks for the tip.

Light grey airbrushed on wheel bays, and exhausts are airbrushed too

Hi,

In the listing of RAF colors, Spitfires' exhaust pipes were officially painted black.

Thank you for the precision. Nevertheless, I will keep my exhausts in rust, arguing that the use in missions could provoke removing of the paint...

I've tried a tip given in the "FAQ" book from AK: weathering with a lighter color than the base one for the wheel bays.

For the exhausts, I've used Citadel Colors Brown ink to give nuances.

I wonder when seeing this very war weary plane (the paint employed was more vitrified enamel than "normal" paint :

For the exhausts:
