Thanks for the info; very helpful. I am into the painting process now, the underside was painted Azure Blue today.

 

Another question. The red nose, would that be the dull red as in RAF roundels, or a bright red?

The most likely colour and as was told to me before was the same red as the old British Post boxes. (Post Office Red).

Maybe some of the other guys here can help.(Graham, Nick)

Possibly the synthetic enamel No.1 gloss Red 33B/366 to DTD 260A (Pigmented Oil Varnishes and Primer for metals and timber) intended to be brush painted. Not quite as strong as modern Post Office Red but slightly more "orange" - closer to BS381 37/537 Signal Red. Closest FS 595 is 11120.
