@Christoph Kunz - After some thinking I went with the green one, just for reason you mentioned.
I'm using Tamiya spray paint TS-43 Racing Green for this build.

Thanks Christoph Kunz & Alex K for your kind feedback.
Had a lot of thoughts before going green but I'm happy with the outcome.

A beautiful model of a gorgeous aeroplane. You certainly have a very eclectic collection of builds, which all look stunning. Your build of the DH.88 and one on Britmodeller have prompted me to get the Micro-Mir kit, as I;ve always wanted to build G-ASCP "Black Magic", but the latest boxing only has the decals for G-ACSS "Grosvenor House" in it due to Decograph production problems in the Ukraine. If you still have the decals for "Black Magic" going spare would you be willing to post them to the UK for me? I'm happy to pay P+P. Very many thanks. Nick G
