Thnaks for that 682al. I suppose what flagged it up was the upper surfrace camouflage looking a little pale and ‘sandy’ in nature but the thing which really caught my eye was the pale coloured spinners, an obvious feature on the Dambuster’s film aircraft. For Dambuster’s, they were pulled of out storage from an MU at RAF Hemswell.

I know what you mean about the ‘weathering’ effect. I thought it look as though someone had gone bonkers with the Nitromors – not disinilar to a friends rally car I was helping to build a few years ago. We thought we’d do it ourselves (because we’re Yorkshiremen and therefore, aledgedy ‘tight with cash’) and wound up nearly gasing the neighbours! In fact, Newark Air Museum’s Bucaneer looks like it too!
