One of the sexiest schemes the RAF ever used, the only one better is the Extra Dark Sea Grey/Dark Slate Grey over Azure Blue (I've a Malta based Highball Mosquito in that scheme to finish.)  It's already been carefully resprayed and subsequently had gloss varnish strategically deployed.  Look closely and you can tell, but only if you know where to look.  Once I've done the tarting up with a hairy stick on the fin joins, I can start getting some decals on.  Basically, roundels, fin flashes and an 81 Sqn badge.  And serials, obvs.  I'll steal them from a Valom one.

I've got a RW Beaufighter in that scheme, yes it's very nice.  It even makes Short Stirlings look good.

I didn't know that was possible.  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
