Decals are from the Xtradecal sheet X48118 with homemade stencils.&nbsp;Added long range fuel tank hooks, fish-tail exhausts, four-spoke wheels and removed cockpit pressurisation gear.<\/p>\n<p>This aircraft is supposed to be one of the early batch without cockpit pressurisation so this was removed from the model and the pilot&#8217;s door re-scribed &#8211; I didn&#8217;t decide to do this particular aeroplane until after the fuselage was buttoned up so the rear pressure bulkhead got left in place. I added resin fish-tail exhausts, four-spoke wheels, hooks for the long range belly tank, when fitted, and \u201cRebecca\u201d beam-approach aerial under the fuselage. Apart from that and some Eduard seat belts, that&#8217;s all I added. Paint is a base layer of Alclad2 Airframe Aluminium and then shades of Vallejo PRU Blue. D-Day stripes are added on top with Tamiya White and Rubber Black.<\/p>\n<p>This is my second Airfix Mk XIX. For the price, I love this kit and plan to use it as a donor for Mk XIV and XVIII conversions (I figure it&#8217;s cheaper than looking for Aeroclub conversion).<\/p>\n<h2>Manufacturer<\/h2>\n<p><a
