Help on a project!

Hi guys, at present, I've started working on a 1/32sc scratch build of a Shorts Seamew. Being so large, both the cockpit and nav position will have to be detailed. Does anyone have photos, a book on Shorts, an old FLIGHT magazine...anything that could help? With the fuselage, (minus rap-over nose and cockpits) constructed and resined.....there must be something, although they only built 19, so...............

I only discovered this odd lookin plane last year, so I can't be of any help. However, do you know of any still in existance? Possibly an intrepid whiffer could be dispatched to get reference?

Thanks Jon, now what colour uniforms did the aircrew wear? I know what you're thinking...Oh geez, not again!
Thanks again,

There's one here on Wiki of a test pilot wearing white coveralls.

If you're doing a whiff one, I think RN crews of the peroiod wore blue.
