Hi guys,
I have Trumpeters MkIII kit but there seem to be no aftermarket decals for the MkIII with the small beam windows as far as I can see (ideally looking for RAF 311 Sqn Czechoslovak), but I have seen a MkIc done by Tally Ho that looks of interest:

I know the aircraft had different rear turrets, but outwardly, did the engines (nacelles, cylinder heads, exhausts) look different between a MkIc and a MkIII?
I think I can sort the turret difference out by getting Pavla's turret update set for the MkI and asking Trumpeter for a rear turret canopy (any any joy with trumpeter after care?).
Any other pointers would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Nick

311 Squadron did not use Wellington Mk III, only Mk I and Mk X.
