A very curious feature is that the underside is painted as a target tug yet it has zero length rocket launchers??????

That's defence cuts for you - if the pilot flew a tight enough circle, he could shoot at his own target?

Interestingly in its preserved form at Moorabbin Air Museum it is painted in authentic WW2 Foliage Green. The painter was given two genuine tins but they were so diferent in shade all he could do was mix them together to produce what must be thought of as a "real" FG.
