Chris - I used silver
seriously though, I used the old tried and tested Humbrol No.11 Silver, it's been around for a million years and has always been a good paint, it sprays beautifully. Some areas of the model are still gloss coated for decal application, so it will all be dulled off with a coat of satin soon.
I hand made the fuel pump which is mounted on the front leg of the undercarriage strut, the wings will be going on today.
Thanks Dave and Bob for your kind words. I'm hoping that Rowan will bring out a complete decal set for this particular model, there are some really nice schemes for the Bristol M1.c and I'm sure a decal set would prove very popular.
I chose this particular trainer version because I wanted to get away from the boring PC10/12 which is so common on a lot of RFC aircraft.
