Thank-you for the kind words Olaf. Hope you are felling better.
The model depicts Red 8 as it would have appeared in the final months of the war during its short operational stint so well before the museum would have got hold of it. I'm sure much of the interior would have been stripped of its electronics for evaluation at Farnborough before it was delivered to South Africa in 1947. I don't know if they ever got around to restoring the rear cockpit.
Lucky you! The colours I chose on my model reflected, as best I could, those outlined in an article written by a researcher on the topic. He's the one who helped drive the repaint of the SA exhibit to it's current state. I think I posted a reference to the article earlier but, if not and you would like it see it, let me know and I can send you a copy.
