Upper surfaces finished in Humbrol Dark Earth and Tamiya RAF Dark Green and a step sourced from spares. As anticipated the vintage 'transfers' shattered in the water so I had to turn to the spares box but unfortunately I don't have any Type B roundels of the correct size so I'll have to get a sheet. I looked at various photos before deciding to base the a/c on White 43, W8825, from 5 (P) AFU [Pilot Advance Flying Unit], based at RAF Tern Hill, having a good photo of this in my copy of Owen Thetford's 1962 edition of 'Aircraft of the Royal Air Force since 1918'.
Despite it's age this kit can be turned into a good looking model with a little TLC.

Hi Chris,
If you can Email me with the size of type B roundels you need (in scale inches) and I'm sure I can help you out from my stash.
Cheers,
Bigkev

PS. Looks nice even without the type 'B's'
I hope my next is always better

Thanks Kev,
In 1/72 scale they're 12mm/half inch diameter. I'll text you our new address.

Nice work there Chris.  I think I have one of these, plus the Magister hidden away somewhere.  Also I have the xtradecal British non-combat types sheet too as the markings with the kits are well past their best - or where when I last looked.  They're probably even more well past their best now, whatever that would be!

Complete at last thanks to the 'B' type roundels Kev kindly gave me.
