Having previously owned "kermit" a signal green flat nosed RS2000 I would advise you to keep the original nose cone and wings on if they are ok, people are funny about classics, and they do like to see them original...........just some of my personal thoughts
Very good, and having served on a strike RAF tornado station in the 80s I can confirm just how right you are, but they also like plenty of bunting too. Oh and I was army serving on a RAF station, so much fun and wind ups!
I may just add that the constant visits to the petrol station for the best fuel was a deciding factor in its sale, never did get bored with just how fast it got down tne road, nearly as fast as watching the fuel needle go from full to empty...........happy days!
