1/72 RAF Beech C-45 Expeditor

My first aircraft model in a very long time (and closer to completion than any i’ve built for even longer) is this PM Models 1/72 Beech model 18, or, as it was known in RAF service, the Beech C-45 Expeditor. I’m going to finish the kit in a green/dark earth camouflage scheme with light undersides (not sure what colour yet), in RAF SEAC (Far East) markings, as it’s a campaign of great interest to me, plus it was where Expeditor’s were mostly used by the RAF

I’m awaiting some dark earth paint before I continue with the build, so I can finish off the fuselage, add the rest of the windows and glue the fuselage together and the rear fins. Then, once i’ve decided on the underside and painted that, I can finish off the undercarriage, glue the wings together and complete the model
