It s converted into mk 12 from Tamiya Mk V with the Paragon Mk 12 conversion and Airwaves C wing sets.       
I've used Eduard RAF seat belts as usual  in the cockpit. The painting was done with Gunze and Tamiya acrylics . 

Here are the decal sets used for  the "EB-B Mb 882".

  •  "Aeromaster" roundels from my spare box.
  • "Modeldecal" code letters
