True colours The original box actually mentions three essential colours but in very small type. This is not a bad idea, the instructions inside have more colours, but the ones mentioned on the box are what you could do with, if you're not trying to create something that looks like the illustration on the box. Strangely enough the instruction then don't tell you about this simpler paint scheme - also, the colours mentioned on the box are only for the USAAF fighter, as the kit allows you to build either a British or an American version of the plane - each with a different paintjob, you might end up bying paints you won't need if you simply buy them all, so that has to be explained too. Well, We'll include them all for both versions and using the colour coding we'll make a distinction between the simple approach and the advanced colorscheme. Next:conclusion
