The Revell kit DOES have the canopy, The kind that the canadians stuck on the tigermoths during the war.

I have that revell kit, and am looking for an alternative paint scheme too. It does have the canopy as well.

The old models were still there in 2008, when i went there for a visit. They are housed in the part of the museum that you can do a tour through, with some WW2 vets, and see the aircraft the museum is restoring. They are in a couple of huge cabinets next to the Catalina fuselage. I don't remember seeing any diorama's, but there were a LOT of model aircfaft.

I have made some roundels using the white sheets. I've found if you put a black ring around the roundel in Microsoft word, or paint, then it gives a very good guide when cutting them out. I too have found it very annoying that light colours are so hard to do... I have to find a way, as the NAC DC3 and Heron have grey decals over a red stripe, and with my Dragon Rapide i put grey decals on, and it blended right into the red... :-( Testors have two packs. I think the starter kit, which comes with the acrylic decal seal that Bruce mentioned, and a couple of sheets of clear and white decal paper and is about $30ish from Hobby City in Auckland. Then you can buy just the sheets of either clear or white for about $20is for 6 sheets. Each sheet is about A5 in size.

Making Decals is simple really. I have some decal paper that i got from the hobby shop a few years ago. You can still buy it, i saw some on my last trip there. Testors make it. Then you just go wild on the PC. I usually find all my pictures on the net, save them, and then import them into microsoft word. With the fieldair decals, i had a set for the DC3, but it was too big, so i scanned them, and then made them smaller, and typed up my own rego.
