Andy, if I were you I would check the shape of the nacelle and the spinner by using of a pic with the plane side view in the scale. The drawings may be not too accurate for some reason.
Well, #49 I have found has room for scratch work.
Located drawings for camera bay and mounts!
Woohoo. Thought I was gonna have to do an OOB build........
Not really sure what to do wes with this.
P-70, p-61, bf-110d, fw-190a, bf 109, mosquito, baufighter, p-38, ju 88, and the list goes on, and the list goes on.......
I've decided I'm going to start with my Hasegawa 1/48 Bf109K-4 and am narrowing down options. Blue 7 of 12/JG27 (I have decals) and White 16 of III/JG53 (no decals) are ranking high but still looking.
I'm down to some kinda Spitfire: several different marks, from Mk.I to Mk.VIII. I also have a Monogram 1/48 Mosquito than can be converted to an NF.XIII but after I bought the resin nose piece I found there are a few issues with the Monogram kit. I'll have to do a bit more research
Already visited that Karl! I have the Japo book with a lot of the photos already, including Blue 7 and am using that to narrow my choices. I might make my own masks for the numbers using my Cricut if I don't have decals for my ultimate choice.

Thanks but I'm not even sure I'm doing that one yet. I have white 16s with the same set (Eaglecals) as my Blue 7 but they are the wrong shape, meant to be outlines for the Blue 16.
It's been a while since I last posted anything at all here but have been visiting on and off to watch the various builds going on.
If it's ok I would like to join in with a subject that covers both topics for GB 49. I have a 1/48 Airfix Boulton Paul Defiant NF I/II. I have always liked the Defiant particularly in the NF role.
