Thanks for your comments Alan (G), the colour scheme is yet to be decided upon. The silver and yellow, as per Colin Hammond's is really nice, but there's something about invasion stripes that makes a warbird stand out. As far as working doors etc, we were thinking of including them but, after a day with Keith, we have decided to ditch them, too much pain for so little gain. We'll probably go for working bomb bay doors, though a removable hatch is still a possibility and again, an easier option. As I mentioned at the start of the thread, our intention is to produce a model that flies right and is as reliable as possible. This is our first venture into a twin engined model so it's quite a steep learning curve, and a big model to boot! We won't be going down the road of ultra scale detailing, it will be more like "stand off scale" so that it looks right in the air.
As far as your comments Alan (C)....do you mean Post Office red or fire engine red??? Or we could do it Ferarri scarlet with a silver prancing horse on the fins and a black and white bar code down the fuz sides...not exactly scale...but different!
