Cool! I'd do the pin up nose art 
I'm sure there were some with pin ups and sharkmouth markings on the same aircraft...
By the way, carefully wash the vacuum formed canopies, let air dry, then dip in Future. Unless you see scratches. If you do, send them back to SMO/MMD for a replacement. I would be surprised though as the vacuum-formed canopies are done by Ventura of New Zealand and so far, everything is to a high standard.

Yeah, I would be leaning towards the pinup girls myself... 
I'm tellin' ay. that one with the NMF/OD with two pinups is a show stopper!

Saul, I'm confident the vac-form canopy will be fine, no scratches so washing and dipping in future should do the trick.
Here is my pick for the scheme: OD over NMF "Hard To Get" Meowww!
All I can say is ....HA HA!!
Really, nice work so far Tom. That PE is going to pay off with the doors open.

Nice work so far! And yes, The Small Shop's tools are still the best in my opinion.

Next update:
I've been doing a little bit when I get home from work, finished the front and rear bomb bay bulkheads and that's about as far as I can go with the bomb bay till the fuselage halves are joined up
Rear bulkhead
Next started on the cockpit floor, added the nose gear walls and then realized I needed to remove the entry hatch cover, I got ahead of myself on that but it turned out ok.
I was leary of the PE pilots seat....ok I was scared of it, folding very thin PE but I figured if I screw it up I'll use the kit part. I think it will do under the canopy glass.
On to some of the cockpit sidewall PE
I really have to think things through with all this PE, so far have just scratched the surface with all of it :gogo

Looks fine Tom, really like it. I suspect the PE will be scared of you before this is over.

If a piece takes some figuring out try taking a piece of printer paper or post it note. Sometimes bigger is better. Then fold it on the desk with a ruler. You quickly see where you have to fold first. Might take a couple of pieces of paper. Then do the metal. Just a thought.
