Thanks Guys. The following profile is fairly correct I believe of the actual a/c. Note the blue on the window of the Donald Duck Motif. The Kit world decal is done in more a tan colour so perhaps not accurate. Furball Aero Design did a decal set with the blue in the motif but it's OOP. As such it looks like I will have to use the Kitsworld decal. I will ask around the Net but I doubt anyone has the furball set.
 
The Painting continues. The Invasion stripes are done and I got a base coat on her. Kind of a shame the stripes will be covered up for the most part with OD but that's how it goes
All paints are Tamiya with the exception of the tail. I didn't like any of the standard yellow colours I had but had some Testors enamel Insignia Yellow. It has that deep yellow colour and provides nice contrast with the grey. Perfect!

The only areas I primed on this model are the fuselage seams and wing seams. Everywhere else I sprayed right on the bare plastic.
