Wasn't Belgian FN MAG 60/40 machine gun, that the British used on Wessex?

I know Harvey, but this is multimedia short run kit. True , instructions could be better, however You have to learn the subject, that's exactly the reason why I am posting pictures of the real stuff everywhere I go, so you guys have some inspiration and most of all, references . Look at Sharky, he's following his references with a maniacal obsession. Once you possess sufficient knowledge of the subject, instruction are not necessary. On October 4th I posted link containing this picture. http://www.grubby-fingers-aircraft-illustration.com/images/Wessex_N7-216_12_med.jpg

What exactly has to be guessed ?

Once you're done with Wessex

Are we talking about decals in 1/32 scale for Hellenic Lockheed T-33 ? If so, no, but I can cut you masks once you're ready.

Spinner from He-111 is exactly what I need and what was used in real life, unfortunately it is not available in 1/24 scale.
