Default Another Latex Paint Query

I have used latex paint just once on a big model. 2 coats brushed on and it was great.

Now I am building an 80" Spitfire and just about ready to paint. I intend to use Latex again, but expect I will need to spray it on to get the two main top surface camouflage colours to merge right.

I have sprayed a little acrylic lacquer and enamel before, but never latex. I have just acquired a small touch-up gun with a .25 litre capacity and intend to try that.

Can someone suggest what paint/water mix I should start with?

Any other hints or suggestions will be welcome.

I seem to recall there was a Vaillancourt article about this subject somewhere but darned if I can find it anywhere now.
