Indeed, a great reference shot; I wondered if she would have had the wavy edged demarcation but Trumpeter's instructions show it as I've painted it.....!
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

I can picture a diorama using the tractor and bomb trolleys from the Airfix Stirling kit ...

What's odd is the box art shows the high wavy demarcation for the other scheme provided in the kit, but the colour plan shows the camouflage scheme as you have it. Either way, your finished model is fabulous. Great job!

I have the bomb trailers and tractor from the RAF Re-Supply set in the cabinet someplace; I'll see if I can get a diorama set up :grin:
