Thanks for the kind comments. Now here's the FR46.
All the serials and the undercarriage doors and radiator flaps are homemade decals. Unfortunately, the only Type C roundels I had that were the correct size look a bit yellow now they are on.
LA550 045/FD 778 Naval Air Squadron stationed at RNAS Ford sometime between 1946 and 1949.
Many thanks to PurpleThistle for the rudder and props. Thanks too to all who have provided advice and encouragement.
Here's a couple of pics of the pair.

That's got a lovely finish to it and very nicely displayed to boot.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Oh damned good show sir! Beautifully made and painted and displayed to perfection. It's an honour to be mentioned in the same post as them
