  1. I paid cash last year. Price has been posted on FB as £2
  2. That's the first thing that came to my mind, Geoff is after 1/32 scale, but it is the 1/48 HK kit that has W4118
  3. There’s a couple of nice interior shots here: https://www.silverhawkauthor.com/post/canadian-warplanes-3-handley-page-hampden?utm_content=cmp-true Dan
  4. There’s an image of a Mk.II with the waist windows fitted here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/79/Vickers_Wellington_Mk_II_of_No._104_Squadron_RAF%2C_about_to_be_loaded_with_500-lb_bombs_for_a_sortie_over_the_Western_Desert%2C_1942._ME(RAF)6297.jpg
  5. Thank you for your replies. I think T.852 refers to BP852 so no link to the T there for example. As for it being the individual aircraft code I find it very odd they didn’t use more of the alphabet and also had two As up on the 4th June.
  6. I've been going through the 145 Sqn ORB and have found myself stuck on deciphering what is listed in the Aircraft Type & Number column. I'm certain that the 3 digit numbers are the last 3 digits of the aircrafts serial but the single letter before them has me confused. The letters are A, B, L, T, N and M. A is there multiple times as A.324, A.339, A.321, A.502 and A.286. The aircraft serial is sometimes listed later with a different letter before it. I have attached an image of the ORB which is downloadable from the National Archives website. Does someone know what the letters mean?
  7. Soak them in warm water so they are warm enough to bend back maybe? Dan
  8. Ah, I understand, I thought you were implying it was not camouflaged in the second image. The only thing I can think of is to compare two images of camouflage spitfires in both colour schemes, that have been turned into black and white. Maybe then the tones can be compared to see which one it’s likely to be as, like you mentioned, it could be heavily weathered Dark Earth and Middle Stone? Dan
  9. In the second image you posted I can still see a camouflaged Spitfire. I've tried to mark it out the best I can and compared it to the camouflage pattern seen on a set of Airfix instructions: Hope this helps! Dan
  10. The Mk.III kit has a different mid-upper turret fairing, doesn't have the correct mid-upper turret and also has the larger air intakes above the engine rather than the smaller ones seen on the Mk.I Although, if you wanted to build a Mk.I that didn't have the mid-upper turret, then you could get away with plugging the mid-upper turret (part provided) and shortening the air intakes above the engine. Don't fit the oil coolers under the engines either. Might have missed something but that's what I can think of. Dan
  11. This is the decal from the game War Thunder if it is of any help:
  12. Here are another two images of R9534 in her early set up, Have you spotted the Boulton Paul Type C turret @woody37? The Revell Mk.III comes with the transparent parts but not the guns or turret base, have you got something you could knock together to make the turret base?
