Thanks Tony and Joe

I did have a little problem with the big red flash decals both of them split after putting them into the water, i think it was just the size of them curling slightly when wet.

That's a spectacular set of markings.Must have been for some special event?.

I don't know if it was for a special event Dave all it say's about them is it's Col. Raymond Toliver Wing Commander of 20 TFW RAF Wethersfield in 1957

I'd say they were pretty standard markings for the day. Shiny aircraft with colourful markings was all the rage. Colonel Toliver died in 2006. He was best known as a military historian and was responsible for many reunions between Luftwaffe and Allied pilots in the Post-War years. He wrote 'The Blonde Knight of Germany", the biography of Eric Hartmann.
