Here is a Spitfire PR Mk. XXd in 1947 Armée de l'Air colours.
Kit is a Fujimi FR. XIV fuselage, AeroTeam Mk. 21 props, QB extended wing tips and a Silver Cloud 170 Gal tank. Paint is Humbrol Matt blue with a Humbrol gloss coat finish. Decals are from a Carpena Mk. L.F. IX based in Indochina in 1947.
I was going to finish with in Royal Danish AF colours hence the Matt 25 colour but I changed my mind at the last minute. I wanted to use Future but the paint just absorbed it and stayed matt. So I used the Humbrol Gloss 35 coat finish. Not the best finish but I wanted to finish the build.

Most definitely! The gloss really makes it look fast!
You've got a regular masterpiece factory going there, Carl!
