There was a colour three-view in RAF Flying Review magazine of this aircraft by Peter Endsleigh-Castle in the late 50’s or early 60’s ,some of which I have boxed up in a cupboard (I used to await the monthly issue eagerly to see the latest colour drawing).
The drawing was of a red aircraft, as per the Revell box , so they perpetuated an error that came from the artist having had wrong colour information initially, and subsequent issues corrected the colour to olive drab, after some correspondence,and there were some who agreed that the name was Millie ‘G’ , not ‘P’, if I remember.
I’ll see if I can locate the drawing and follow-up info. At that time, information was not always of the best, and colour three -view air -brushed drawings were, for me, the proverbial bees-knees, and far more scarce than today with the great amount of in-depth research material available and the computer-produced aircraft profiles and other excellent and abundant art-work .
