When I converted an Airfix Heron kit to a Devon many decades ago, I used a piece of clear plastic sprue and laboriously filed and sanded it down to the blister shapes for each of the forward cabin windows. Finished them with
brasso to restore the clarity. Interestingly My Devon is also NZ1807 in the final colour scheme

I have forwarded a photo of NZ1807 in the above colourscheme to Dave to put on the forum. It shows that there is no "7" on the forward fuselage under the cockpit. I may have been that the creator of the kit was confused with the shadow from the pitot tube extension under that side which in the photo looks a little like a "7" The only additional feature to be added is the last two numbers of the serial which were painted on the nose door of each Devon  |

You will also notice on the upper surface of the mainplaine on this side three prominent aerials, these are repeated on the other mainplane and are the Rebbecca/Eureka sense aerials. the inner two are the same length and the outer one is slightly shorter. They are connected just below the full height by a horizontal solid frame the same width as the antennae. Also underneath the wing on the port side you will see a further single aerial inboard of the upper antennae.
These aerials were common to all of the Devons.
