Not strictly a historical reference but a set of decals DP Casper should have re-issued in the 60th year. they would probably have sold out very quickly:

For those doing a French Corsair, here are some scans of some tired old prints of photos I took in the late 80s at Duxford. Sorry about the quality but I hope they inspire you - the pilot looks like he was having fun (on what was a horribly wet, stormy day!).

Cheers for the Pictures Al - Very useful indeed. I now know I've got the correct cowling (as I read somewhere the instructions were incorrect - I guess they're not).
