Hi Fmansam
I can upload the paintkit if you like ?.
it's very fiddly to paint round the rear fuselage extremities but you should be ok with that one.
Regards
Rick

Must be some kind of 3D-image then. Like the ones where you're supposed to be sitting staring dumb into the far depth of the screen pretending you can see some kind of image, and suddenly come with an outburst: "YES! THERE IT IS...! IT'S FANTASTIC..." making all others envious... ;-)

Don't know if this was the pic on the other thread, but I was going to suggest this one sooner or later.
Only one example wore these colours; it was
XS644. This pic is at Thorney, (in 46 sqn markings). I did have a small pic of it when it served with no. 51 (Nimrod) Sqn. in those colours, in which it had a bump on the underside, and was used, possibly, for training.
