Never seen one of these ... ☹️ If i had I would have added it to my RAAF Beau. Oh well gives me an excuse to build another 👍

I used XTRADECALS, SEAC RAF 27 sqn in Burma 1945.

Very nice. The only issue I have is that you've painted the central gear casings of the engines grey. These were painted a semi-gloss black in reality. Tamiya instructions would have you paint them Tamiya X-18 semi-gloss black.

That is a restored, post-war museum display. It has the rear-swept exhaust pipes.

 

This is what a wartime Bristol Hercules looked like.
