It's very nice and there's only two things I would have done differently:

Change the serial code - BBMF aircraft wear schemes that they never wore in reality but always kept their original serial code.  Witness the various squadron code carried by PA474.

Added an anti glare panel in front of the cockpit.

Added a few extra whip aerials for the modern radio gear (the kit should have a Rebecca fairing underneath but doesn't).

And finally, the crowbar on the entry hatch inside should be red, although you can't see it.  Oops, that's four things and I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition...

It's odd you've gone down the BBMF route as I was toying with a BBMF mk IIb with some additions...

Ah, but you have to realise Lee that this IS PK433. She was never scrapped but survived and was resurected, and now wears her original markings.
I did think of an antiglare panel and whip arial but Ithought they might give the game away too easily.  :rolleyes:
