    Been fallowing your work on this one and it's pity about the problems you got with white paint, but got to admit she came out quite good none the less. Nice job David.

    Well your effort was well worth it. I can't see any hints of the issues you had with the white paint. Fantastic built with great results.

    This is my favorite color scheme of all time.


    Regards,
    Dirk

    Got to agree with all David, it's turned out very well. I'm guessing they're correct for the colour scheme (not well-up on RN colour schemes), but the wing roundels are those used pre and post war, and would normally be Type B (Blue/Red) ?

    Oh heck no, this bugged me. I went back and corrected it by putting the correct decals over the old ones. Funny thing is I always prefered the Type B anyway. THANK YOU for catching that!
