ok i had a go at changing the profile of the OD panel slightly and got a few more markings done

Bill was the "c" high up on the tail and the serial number carried on both sides ?

 

[drgondog]

"C" (for C-Flight) on Left side only, 36457 both sides.. The "C" is block letter but parallel totrailing edge of rudder (i.e. back slant)

Bl**dy good show Red Two!
Don't you just love this forum - models aren't just 'models', but built, whatever the skills, with dedication, and input from those who were 'there', or directly related to those who were.
In almost fifty years of 'messing about' with modelling, I don't know of any other 'place' where there is so much shared knowledge and expertise, without all of the BS of the 'Look at Me' syndrome' often manifest in 'other' places.
Bl**dy brilliant!!
