Scott DuttonThanks all. In relation to colours I will have to look it up when I'm home, but suffice to say the colour suggestions by academy were rubbish, and required a complete repaint, they were way too light. A friend had made Hasegawa and that was great so I used but with some changes. It recommended the Gunze Super metalics which I didn't have so used the Mr Colour mettalic range instead. These were mixed with suggested Mr Aqueous Colour range, even though the Mr Colour range is a Laquer, the aqueous colour is an acrylic but really a lacquer that is water soluble. I think, this worked for me anyway. So the lighter grey was Mr colour stainless steel mixed and the darker blobs were mr colour steel mixed. The leading edges were Mr Aqueous 308 which I think was darker than the Hasegawa instructions. I will get exact colours in day or so.
In relation to the kit I enjoyed, it seems much easier than the Hasegawa one I watched my mate build The cockpit set was great from Wolf pack. The decal sheet is awesome i think it has every conceivable squadron
