Tiger Mate, I've been following this thread with awe at your knowledge, skill and dedication. Re the green jungle fatigues, we were issued with these in the mid-1950's as cadets in the school cadet corps, presumably when it was decided that they were never going to be needed again for normal service. We thought they were the bees' knees and much better than the denim blouse and trousers usually issued.

I've often wondered why you made the top of the Dakota's fin/rudder as you did, when I remembered them as slightly different; A340yoyo's photo is how I recall the DC3's we operated in the late 60s, but I just assumed I must be wrong. I guess that you have painted an earlier/later model?
