What's the imitation, Jennings?

 

Eduard website has photo of the decal sheet, the kiwi roundels look too dark to my eyes (Ventura sheets nail the blue IMO, good thing I have some in the stash).  I "need" another -N but will wait until the price drops to double digits to pick one up

Already have the Ventura decals for Gloria Lyons scheme, Resin wheels and exhausts from when Derek Bradshaw was selling them so I just ordered the overtrees from the Eduard site for £38 delivered. Sure hope its like their other overtree stuff and I get the whole kit minus decals and fancy add ons..... maybe should have asked first and not been impulsive. Oh well.

Looks like they made the mistake of printing "LuLu Belle" in white when it should be yellow. Not a BIG deal as it's fairly easy to overpaint the decal with yellow.

Awesome, I didn't know the kit had already been released. Can you please post a photo of the decal sheet? I'm interested to see if they got the color of the RNZAF roundels correct.

 

Check out the link below (scroll half way down)

 

No, they didn't, they printed those stupid  Electric/pale blue markings which never ever existed. Not impressed by the

supposed Olive Drab either, and missed the code letter "G" off NZ3220

This colour painting by the RNZAF Artist Maurice Conly (who actually spent time in the forward area) shows what the correct

colour should look like
