Thanks

It's actually 'anti-flash white' which was standard for the nuclear-equipped V-Bombers of the time.

They were camouflaged and upgraded when they switched roles to using conventional weapons.

I just realised that I missed off the windscreen wipers - so that's one thing to fix next time...
 
I have since found out that the B1s only had dark markings...

Fixes:

Markings - now standard dark type
Fin - changed black area.
Serial number font - changed
Wipers - added
Bomb-aiming position - reduced overlap.
Canopy - fixed lifting hole - reference drawing wrong.
Intakes - fixed - again reference drawing showing B2 inlets on B1 drawing...
Moved nose window.

 
Yep, I will definitely be converting/drawing the B1A and B2 versions once I am happy with this one.

Just got some markings to sort out on the nose now and it should be done...
 
Final revisions (I hope)

Changed the dark areas on the spine and fin (think they a radar/radio related, not sure)
Added wing roundel
Added nose markings for rescue and first aid stuff (not that they can be seen much)

 
Here we go!
