This is the Revell kit. I have used the Vector set for the props and crankcase with the right magnetos and prop pitch absent from the kit. The Xtradecal I have used repeat the mistake previously done, as Slippery Sam was serial n° 4512 and not 4511. The picture of this plane shows a difference between the yellow top of the propellers and the color of the artwork, so red is the option I choose. Ultracats wheels are a real gem. A lot of painting to get the proper worn and weathered look of an aircraft operating in the Salomons in 1943!
Slippery Sam belonged to the 1 BR Squadron and was based on Guadalcanal in late 43. Salute to all my Kiwis friends, cheers, jean.

Jean, I resisted buying this kit for lack of space to store more kits- but after seeing this lovely build I can hold off no longer! I'll be writing to Sergei as well- cheers, you magnificent b@st@rd! ;D
a set of Exhausts from LSM (Mike West) and the Dmould lower forwards fuselage & bombbay doors. I just got my sets in the post today and they are superb!
My Props and cowls from from Sergei and well pleased I am with them too. I'm still considereinf the cockpit set but the revell one looks to be Ok under all that glass so i may save pennies and use a bit of sprue and strip to dress it up a bit. May also 'fake up' a couple of tanks to go behind the fuselage windows. (sheet card painted Z/c or Ig wounted about 1 mm off the glassware.)
I looked through the window over the green fields, and saw row on row, sharply white against the green, rising with the hill and dropping again into the hollows-keeping a firm line as they had been taught to do-a battalion on its last parade. The Cenotaph and no one there? That can never be.
