Sweet, Option 1 or the current look you just posted. Both work for me.

It is actually the right font, downloaded from here: http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/forums/downloads.php?do=cat&id=2  It's called RAF_PW_ATH

A very handy site, all sorts of useful stuff there.

Okay, so here's some pics. Took them yesterday, but had some IT problems...







Canopy is now masked and glued on (very firmly: the rear shield keeps springing it off) and a coat of white paint is currently drying.

Had a brainwave about the radome: I'm going to use the natural resin colour as the base. Masked it off before spraying, it'll get a clear matt coat with the rest, and then I'll brush some thinned brown over it to give the tatty look of the Buccaneer S.1 radomes.

That's BRILLIANT!  Must give that a go.

Cheers - followed you right back.

I'm using the hashtag #whatifmodelling for anything remotely relevant, including posts linked to Airfix's regular #workspacewednesday and #weekendworkspace twitter events.

I'm also following a Kiwi comedy youtuber who might be worth your attention called Ollie Langdon:
