Great to see you join Bruce. That's a great kit and I have the other half yet to finish. My build is here http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/5-d-day-invasion-stripes/done-1-48-hellcat-mk-i-jv-131-no-800-squadron-hms-emperor-23113.html which you might find useful for references.

Nice start Bruce, the PE sure makes the panel look sharp though on my monitor the green is quite bright, almost lime in colour.
