Here we go. This has sat in my stash for 2 or 3 years, and I've been wanting to build it since but Terry scared me off. Don't mean to copy you Jan but you've got me intrigued again, and maybe I'll be able to pull it off. Hard to find profiles, but here's the scheme I'll be doing at any rate.

This isn't correct exactly as it's missing the serial numbers on the bottom of the wings, and it also has the bulged bomb bay from the RAF era, but my kit has both proper parts as I purchased the Navy version.

Here are some period photos of other aircraft:

Good grief! We've got two masochists !! Hope it works out OK Cory - if in doubt, have a look at my build. Once you get past the fuselage joint problem, things aren't too bad - just slightly bad!
