That all-grey livery looks totally odd on the Wellesley, I like that.  :thumbsup:

That is an impressive looking aeroplane!!  Strangely, the grey really suits it!

You get so used to Wellesleys in desert schemes almost anything else makes you go 'Woah!'

But as Rheged Esq. says, it suits it well.  :thumbsup:

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Yes, it looks so strange, it took a while to identify it. Nice variation from the usual.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Putting the Grey closer to the bottom is actually a bit of a cheat. The squadron codes are white, and I wanted them to stand out. Simples!

My second Whiffing motto applies here.

:thumbsup: It also fits with what I humbly named Bailey's First Law: Necessity may be the mother of invention, but laziness is usually the father.

Obviously some touch-up is required on these, but that shouldn't take long. One bomb pannier closed, one open with a depth charge.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
