Currently working on the Revell 1:32 "Aces High" Iron Maiden Spitfire kit. Which I'm hoping is not their usual 1:32 Spitfire MkII with the Eddie figurines thrown in (which is likely, because they're on their own sprue, in their own cellophane packet, cast in a different coloured plastic).
The kit (especially the interior) is horrifically inaccurate from any Mk that I can find reference photos for online. 😬
Always feels like a frustrating step, priming the plastic from one shade of grey to a very slightly different shade of grey (when it goes on wet, it's literally almost _indistinguishable_, i have to go by the "wetness" look to see where I've done - the darker shade only appears once it's dry); and yet it's a pivotal step.
I've tried skipping it before, and while you _can_ if you're using enamels, if you're using acrylics, it just doesn't work.

In things that only I will ever notice or care about, I have followed the #Revell painting guide (bottom). But it "felt wrong" as I was doing it... to the point I checked 3 different times to make sure I'd not confused the two colours.
Only after completing it did I pull up the #Airfix painting guide.
Can you spot the discrepancy?
