Excellent Peter, if for some reason you get stuck for decals later in the game, give me a yell as I have that set which I'll only be using for tail numbers in this build.

Nice one mate!

Thank's guys, I'll make a start soon, but in the meantime a challenge. Find me a photo of the port side of V6555

There does not seem to be one, especially showing the caricature of Churchill. Many others have had the same problem it seems, so I'm not holding my breath. Still, there must have been some basis for the markings.....

Fine kit the hasegawa Hurri, you will do a great job on this one mate!

I think I've got a shot of the port side, with Tuck in the cockpit, but it only shows his 'kills' under the canopy rail. The pic doesn't show the resat of the aircraft.
