Looks great.  One doesn't see too many MkIIs.  No idea the Navy used them for anything.  Those Tamiya rattle cans really are good, giving an excellent metallic look.  Where on Earth did you find those unit codes though?

Sorry,.... I thought I`d answered your query and just realised I hadn`t,...... the codes are Luftwaffe codes from an old generic sheet. Glad you like the Beau mate,.... ta.

The MK II in Far East was true rarity, I think. Thanks a lot for finding such stuff! Nice result, what is obvious

Regards

Great job for so many reasons not least of all the inclusion of a little known operator. you always seem to find

those unusual subjects for your bench. Liking the silver finish too.

Thanks J-W,..... I have a camouflaged one from Ceylon partially painted too and I`d like to do one from Gibraltar as well. There were a couple operating from South Africa too,..... one was bare metal.
