As per my Hurricane, this was a cheapie starter set I finished this week to clear the way for a couple of larger projects (1/48 Spit XVI and a 1/72 Lancaster... so considerably larger projects!). Fell together very nicely, but the "mid stone" and "azure" the Starter Set included apparently aren't a great tone match for the RAF desert scheme, so used instead Middle Stone Hu225 (rather than Hu93) and lightened up some Hu25 Matt Blue with some Hu34 White for the Azure Blue (rather than the Hu157 Azure provided). Blue looks too blue to me but some old colour photos suggest it might still be right.
Love the shark's mouth, and the decals for this went on really easily, had been a bit worried by them! Did some research on the proper aerial set-up for an RAF Tomahawk, and then entirely chickened out of replicating that!
Again, a new tool from Airfix that is very well manufactured.

Right. Onward & upward. Revell 1/72 Lancaster Mk I/III time... a step up for me! (Have caved and bought the Eduard masks for this one...!)
