Hi,  thank you for the info,  I appreciate the time taken to pass this on to me.  You are right I do quite a bit of research into my models and have Graham Cross ‘slybirds’ reference volume on the 353rd.   Though not ideal  it was a conscious decision to use the codes I did.   I really wanted to model a YJ coded machine  and in the end would have been happy with any of the codes you mentioned but after searching for suitable paint masks to use there just weren’t any and unfortunately a compromise had to be made.  The alternative would have been to set the model aside and perhaps loose the momentum I have for this build at the moment. I never model an exact machine but generally like codes to match, this time unfortunately it wasn’t possible.   At some point I’m going to have to produce my own masks as I run into this issue quite often!  Cheers. Matt

Sometimes ya just gotta make do with what you have; it would be a shame not to use that gorgeous cowl.  Happy modeling!
