As always I would like to say thanks to the few who offered advice, commented or bothered to pop in for a shufti.

This is an absolute beauty George and a brilliant way to show the subject so fresh off the production line. Well done.

I really like the livery. Were I somehow to be able to restore a warbird, if that particular airframe wasn't historically significant, I'd want it as it emerged from the factory.

Used Tamiya Dark Grey as a base and the White was mixed with a wee bit of light grey to tone it down. I may go over the white again. The only photo I found of this aircraft showed the pilot on the wing by the cockpit and what is shown is a very weathered fuselage.
