Hi Edgar I found an photo of the actual aircraft I could just make out that the wheels had four-spoke wheels so we are good there.
Also I read that the D on the door and on the opposite side was 15" against the 18" you wrote in the paint description, I am guessing one of them is a typo. My question is which one. Is it 15 or 18. 18 seams the more logical given standard sizes for letters in the RAF.
The photo also cleared up another question, Where the guns fitted. The reply being yes. You can see the muzzles projecting from the cowls View attachment 43075
Now I only have one problem to resolve. The contra prop. I have found and bought one but its a Rotol prop where as I need a de havilland!!! Oh well at least I have the spinner. I hope to be able to re shape the blades but am a bit bothered about naffing them up!!!

Here is where we are at at the moment.

Nice detail in the Exhausts. The wheels and tyres are rather nicely done as well as the main U/C doors.

Overall the panel detail is nice and fine and a whole lot better than most injection moulded kits. To save you asking, the nose is primed black as it will be a polished metal finish where as the rest is 'just silver paint'. Just need to give it a rub over with a bit of polishing cloth then I can think about painting it....
