Yes, well done. An interesting adaptation of that scheme. I might have considered not doing the white patch in front of the cockpit, or maybe making it longer like an antiglare panel - but that's only my musings.

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Chip,
Congratulations on being first past the post; the Dora looks great.
So, what will you be doing for the rest of the GB?

I pondered over this myself for quite a while and I am still not really happy with my final choice. I wanted to get as close to the original scheme as I could, hence the final outcome.jRatz wrote:I might have considered not doing the white patch in front of the cockpit, or maybe making it longer like an antiglare panel.

Excellent! It's a really nice finish and as others have commented, does not actually look too out of place (unexpectedly!)
