The Proctor is comming on a treat Tom.
I have a soft spot of the type as the FROG model was the first kit I bought with my own money.

I well remember the yellow
FROG made a lot of subjects not covered by other manufacturers. The other thing clear about the Proctor was it was in the Gold Medal series which had the tokens on the box that could be collected and redeemed against future purchases .
Their kits always seemed a little bit special..........it was a sad day when FROG croaked :sad:

I agree 100% Garry!
To some extent Matchbox took over Frog's mantle of the 'weird and wonderful' kit manufacturer. Who else would have done a Wellesley for instance?
I digress though, as usual. I may just haul that Proctor kit downstairs and see what can be done with it. What schemes were post war Proctors painted in? I can't recall seeing an RAF one, just the Prentice sticks in my mind from then.

I've only ever seen camouflage Proctor IV's (the subject of the Frog Kit)
There were a small number of all over silver Mk V's and one silver example with RAF tail flash but G-AHGN on the fuselage which was used by the British Civil Air Attaché in the USA.
I've just finished the Frog kit for someone at work. I'll post a pic when I get home.
