Very nice. I built something similar for Brooklands Museum almost 40 years ago. Based on the Matchbox Wellington, I plunge moulded the pressure cabin in two halves and formed the underside fairing from balsa. Mine was the mk.VI variant with Merlin engines which I borrowed from a scrapped Lanc model. I had trouble verifying the correct colours, but was able to speak to an elderly gent who worked on the project who assured me the underside was blue in accordance with the high altitude daylight bomber scheme. I finished it as such but was never quite convinced. I felt it was probably yellow as per a prototype scheme. Great to see another pressurised Wellington model.

It's been a long time since I posted anything here because it's been a long time since I finished a model. 1st attempt at a diorama.
