Does anyone have or can point me in the direction of good photographs of Vickers Valiants with intake covers in place? The intakes on the Airfix kit are driving me stir crazy and I cant seem to do a decent enough job of seemless ducts. So I'm taking the cowards way out and covering them up.
The only picture I've been able to find online so far is this:

The aircraft at the rear do seem to have some sort of covers fitted.
Would they also have been fitted with covers at the rear of the engines?
Any help is appreciated.
