Thanks Martin, makes life a bit easier, most of the photos i can find  all seem to show various views but most of the waterlines seem to be obscured, all i need now is the right colours and i can start spraying.


thanks again Steve.

That is interesting acctually that both props are the same direction.... maybe they did what they did on many others and used the engines to turn more than the rudders..
