Thanks Ratty. Helpful for when I get around to building mine, which will be real world as a tribute to those who flew them in action in 1940.

Looks better than the Airfix.  But then it is 56 years younger.

On Britmodeler Heather Kay has just started to build one of these, it starts at the bottom of this page.

Thank you old chap.
I knew it was wrong but failed to find the correct words.  Something which happens more often as I get older.
Underwing Bomb Holes, what?
