The wing slats and flaps are from Paragon  set No 48012, these were fitted using piano wire as srew jacks, I drilled matching holes into the interiors and flaps and mounted the flaps as the last job. Before cutting any plastic away from the kit parts check the resin parts match the panel lines, if not, adjust with a file.

 

I used Compucolour Vietnam paints set and the Xtradecal sheet No X 015-48

 

The seats were modified as was the dashboard and coaming.

 

 
Note the flower wire srew jack at the outer end.  My flaps were a little warped, but I plunged them in boiling water until pliable then straightened them against a piece of wood and plunged them under a cold tap.

 

 

 

Paragon's big exhaust set No 48006 was used here to make the "F" version used at the 'Heath.
