I am building two Spitfire Mk Vb aircraft in desert color schemes, Dark Earth/Middlestone topside. One has an azure underside, the other has sky blue underneath.
1. Using a black pin wash on the panel lines seems a bit dark on the light blue undersides. Does anyone have recommendations on what color I should use for the panel line washes an Azure underside and for a Sky Blue underside?
2. Also, I assume that a dark brown would be appropriate for the upper surfaces. Is this appropropriate for Dark Earth/Middlestone topside surfaces?
Thanks!
For the topsides, I’d suggest a burnt umber or some other dark brown for the panel line wash. For the blue surfaces, go with a dark gray in the panel lines. Black is way too stark of a color for washes except for a few small areas.

I always use a med to dark grey for blue undersides.

You trying to recreate dirt and grime captured in recessed areas and usually a brownish color is what it is. I like using Flory Dark Grime washes that are brownish for the entire model.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
