I am, but accuracy is a bit lacking, no plans and limited views on photographs.

The figures have arrived so its figure building and painting for a few hours.
I am going to use the Tamiya 1:48 British ones.

Hi Howard, the 1:48 figures are tiny.

Regarding pilot and ground crew figures, the ones that come in the Airfix 'WWII RAF Ground Crew' set are huge by comparison to the Eduard, ICM and white metal Dartmoor Military Models examples...

Painting small (1/48 scale) figures is a whole new modelling discipline for me so if anyone has got any advice/suggestions they would be most welcome!
