Unsuccessful in cutting the gun panels off...probably cause I got impatient...(the alternative was probably not the best approach).

Not perfect in terms of cuts and making sharp corners. Had to do quite a bit of clean-up. Not Recommended!!!

Cockpit Side Note: Added 'random' instruments to areas of the cockpit. This is not to be historically accurate, more of a fun hobby.

Hindsight: This was the wrong color to use and I should have just created the Azule Blue needed for bottom of the plane.

I was to nervous about airbrushing the squiggly lines...so I hand painted them on to the front and lower engine panel. XF61 - Dark Green & XF64 - Red Brown.

Added red around the gun holes.

@Felix ... Going with the No 274 RAF Sidi Barrani Egypt scheme for now ... but i tend to deviate from the "historical accuracy" so please bare with me..

@Aman looking forward to seeing the build - i am a bit afraid of those camouflage worms, how to do them freehand!

Aman even though they are cartograph decals handle with care my roundels and lightening flashes split.

@Felix - My fear as well, never done that before so it will be interesting to see. Will practice on a few spare plastic parts.
@Mark - Appreciate the heads up! Large or long decals always make me nervous!

Looking good. I hand painted my Italian stylee Camo' too, but then again that model was one of the last brush painted I completed before moving to airbrushing. 👍🥸🤘
