Hi Luftwaffe,
Thanks for the post
My planes are scale 1/72 and all diecast.The majority are limited edition to, so changing them to make them look different would void the limited edition aspect
Theirs such a huge variety though so finding the right one or something close isnt really to much of an issue for me. I enjoy the endless amounts of time just looking for the right model to purchase.
Thanks for the tips though

i may buy a non limited edition model and try what you've recommended. See how my amatuer hands get on.
Many thanks.
James
