My photos will appear here in the next day or so :-) (The ones in that thread).. She's being painted topside, nose and tail.. underside remains as normal due to it still being pretty good.

Paint job doesn't look bad at all considering it's been rollered on.

No doubt there'll be a few noisy negatives about it still not being 'authentic' but considering the costs of a complete all over respray I think they've done the best they can. :thumb:

As she's only doing a flythrough at the National Arboretum and Cosford I would say around 13.00-1320 hrs
