    Thanks to Louis Gardner for setting this one up my entry for this GB is the Airfix Kate.
    No decision yet on unit or colour scheme but I do like the look of the pale grey topside and green mottle!
    Great work everyone

    Thanks Louis it might be a while before I post an update but for the meantime I have managed to get around windows 10 and post a picture!

    Thanks for posting the picture. I'm not the greatest at computers... so I feel your pain. Looks like a great place to start !

    O.K so here we go - Japanese schemes for Kate seem to be the matter for much conjecture - perhaps because few or none of them actually survived but here is one from Akagi which I am going to use.

    That will work ! Looks like it has the same markings as the plane on the box art.

    There is a lot of info there. It may also help with some of your "Kate" color questions.
