Looking good there Boats.
BTW, the 'EV' codes are for 180 Squadron, not 226, who used 'MQ'.
I've just been checking over my kit, which is the Revell Germany issue (same kit) with extra markings for the Jet Alpine Fighter preserved aircraft, based in Switzerland. It looks like they've printed the instructions incorrectly for the bomb bay assembly, showing the rear bulkhead at the front!
If you can, is there any chance you can post a pic of your instruction sheet for this area?
Thanks.

That's just what I needed mate!
Those instructions are much better than the ones in my kit, and confirm that the printing on mine is wrong - they've got the bomb bay bulkheads back to front!
Thanks for the help !

Ahoy Terry
your very welcome and i am happy that the instructions helped you a couple pictures got blurry, but glad the rest of the instructions are clear for you to use. LOLLLLLLLLLLLLlllllllllllll seams like every time they release this kit in a different boxing they redo the instructions and get then fouled up. doing some touch up work now getting the glazeings painted and installed, should have her done late this evening. If the good lord is willing and gives us a sunny day tomorrow like to day i can take the finishing pictures of the group build. glad you can use the instructions Terry.

thanks Terry yes I gave it a coat of dullcote to tone it down. i used high gloss to protect the finish and then add a coat of dullcote to give it the realo look. all of the glazeings were not glued down more less dry dry fitted, Once i take the outside pictures the color of the model will be inhanced because of natural light. Stay tune finished pictures are comeing up.
