Thanks for the input guys. Yes, colorized so somewhat suspect. I've seen the black and white version if this pic whilst reading the many inconclusive discussions about colours. Not sure what I'll go with yet but whatever it is I'd love to be proven wrong!

Washi tape would be too thick. Decals be good.

Liking that Robert.

If you are using the kit decals then I'm surprised they aren't behaving for you. Tamiya was well known for thick decals on their past kits but my experience with this new kit was a good one IIRC.

Tough is good.

Maybe but apparently not found yet. Theories abound that the dark blue uppers were an RAF paint brought on board or an experimental US Navy colour. I have to admit I have never heard of the light blue cclour before this build. Sky, yes. Azure Blue, yes. Medium Sea Grey, yes but I've never heard...

That's not something you see every day.

Very soft plastic, tricky cowl fits and poor wing to fuselage joints. What could go wrong? :lol: Take your time and read the other ICM builds and you should fine Ralph

My rule of thumb is to paint the darker colours over the lighter and that includes free hand camo paint.

Thanks guys. Not much further ahead I'm afraid as you've all picked one of the three choices! Going to need to do some more reading on this. The betting money is on this aircraft having received the mid stone/dark brown uppers before leaving the UK and then having dark blue applied over top on...

One of your neighbours might be thinking they got some new odd shaped contact lenses

Very sharp.

Looks the biz Vic.

The wing to fuselage joint is the trickiest but as bad as it looks on dry fitting it does come together with some TLC.

That's looking really smart Don.
