A note from Geoff…
As Dave has completed his model I thought you would like to see a photo showing how it turned out – plenty of options abound with different schemes available in the box and several aftermarket decal sheets like those from Xtradecal at Hannants.

This will be quite a quick review as Geoff (the Editor) has already done a full in depth build review (here).

The main difference in my build is the use of PE for the interior and aftermarket decals for the colour scheme.
