Those look great John
The earlier livery certainly sits easy with my memory now.

AH yes
I read somewhere....not there but maybe they have this...that it was loaned as a display piece but the owners were shocked to see what was done with it. :think:
A bit different :-(

My goodness you have been busy John, my only negative comment is that they are missing the small white squares around the nose area. These are small flaps that you stick the nozzle of the fire extinguisher in, if you have an engine fire on start up. They are quite pronounced on the photos I have.

Nice work John
Looking through the photos at the PPrune thread I can see how you could have easily slightly midjudged the colour on SWI
as the photos look slightly yellowed making the grey appear almost turquoise - another gift from Mr Russell when assessing
photogrpahs and colour values - thanks Garry

Hi Trev,
I played around with those for quite a while and they just didn't look right with the few lumps that are in the way. There's a bit of hardware where you'd go through the break panel on the forward square one. I could have put just the triangular one in front of the vent but then someone may have said "You've left the other one off" so I thought I'd quietly leave them both off so that the eye wasn't drawn to that area.
