Love the trolly Vic. That Great Wall kit looks like it's a bit of an upgrade from the old Monogram kit.

Thanks for this little gem Don. Even though the one was the first cab of the ranks, I ain't changing from that lovely green and considering the old bird continued on to drop countless demo and experimental torpedoes, the chances are she may have had a repaint.The early ones were all bare metal inside, including the cockpit. It was early 1940 there got paint. Imagine flying on a bright sunny day in a nice shiny cockpit.
The Yellow wing paint pre war scheme was bare metal. They went to the CG with the dull down of the navyThanks for this little gem Don.

Many thanks Evan and Andy.
Excellent info Don. I've got the Yellow Wings version, so I'll be filing that little bit of information away in the memory bank.The Yellow wing paint pre war scheme was bare metal. They went to the CG with the dull down of the navy
Watch "Dive Bomber " before you do it! Excellent movie for prewar schemes.Excellent info Don. I've got the Yellow Wings version, so I'll be filing that little bit of information away in the memory bank.
Looking really nice. I'd send you som CG paint but it would cost more to send it that the ten bottles I'd buy to replace it.I've gone as far as I can with this one for the moment, I need some chromate green before I go any further and will hopefully pick some up while down in Melbourne for a few days next week.

As you can see the engine is fitted and I've not gone to much trouble over this one as once the cowl is on, little can be seen.
