thank you hughes for the confirmation of the early year model and the use of surplus ww2 period chinstraps ,i didn't realise decals were used on the more modern variaties and thanks phil it has been a long drawn out cleaning process and i simply flatted down the post war paint using a very fine grade wet and dry ,it probably still needs further cleaning work but ive gone as far as im happy going so im leaving it be now ,i just need to reassemble and chuck it back on the shelf thanks james
