1/32 Trumpeter Tomahawk question.

[stevej60]

A bit of help please folk's.Just nearing the end of a build of this kit and ready for a matt coat,the port roundel has a cut out for what I assume is a camera

but make no provision for it on the kit or decal sheet even their colour call out show's it as it is,I'm happy to represent it as a decal just want to make sure

I'm right or not.

TIA.

Hi Steve,

 If you do a Google search for `curtiss tomahawk 26 squadron raf`,  then images, there`s a small photo of RM*Y that shows a similar a/c and the position of the camera

Hope this helps

PS: there`s also one a bit further down, a trio with RM*E furthest away, it`s an IWM pic.

I`m sorry but for some reason I can`t get the links to work
