A bit of progress to report. As the whole aircraft is covered in Aviattic decals, there was a lot of undercoating and gloss coating to be done before decal application could start. I didn't want to bother you with all of that, but here's one shot of the undercoated fuselage:
The Aviattic decals don't include a serial number, as the serial number of this aircraft was unknown. So I made up a plausible one by cutting up and adapting the ones in the Goering kit. I meant to do 4255/18 but in my haste I did 4525/18 (which is outside the likely production batch for this plane). I then did a mist coat over the top so they didn't stand out too much through the decals. I also added a weight table because I didn't think there was one on the Aviattic fuselage decal. But when I went to apply the decal I realised there was a beautifully subtle weight table under the red overpainting on the decal. So now there are two, but fortunatley it's not very obvious!!
Here's where I am so far, still more decalling to do before weathering and assembly can begin:
