Another night sesson of cleaning subassembley parts . Nose and main gear bays , booms cleaned up and ready for tamiya Lp-11 silver paint .Strange that this particular marking the wheels are with the solid hubs instead of the spoke wheels . I'll use either my Tamiya cockpit color mix or Mr color cockpit color mix !

Went through some books looking for some more pictures of your aircraft. No pics but in "The Aircraft of 100 Group", I found this....
