I think years ago I gave all my camo colours to a mate when he was doing a diorama as I got more into doing cars .

Right here ya go , Haven't done a plane quite so small in years.

And yes you were right Lez about those transfers almost fell apart in the solution so had to push them back together once on the plane, I could only find a couple of cockpit open pictures which showed they opened from either side ? but didn't show a toe rope so I improvised.
Brush painted as I took notice of the reaction yours had (thanks for the heads up) but remember they would have been brush painted canvas when built << he said clutching at straws lol.

Nice one Ramone, The hand painted bit makes it look more weathered and probably more in tune for the time (I cant imagine they'd worry about lovely paint work in WW2). Good finish to it

I couldn't go the full hotrod look for her car when she wasn't looking so just gave it a lick of colour co ordinated flames , don't look too hard the white stuff between the doors is car polish that I haven't cleaned out. The interior doesn't stand out much but looks neat
