Getting help?

Well some of my guys said they would help out restoring this to WW1 colours, not sure their definition of help is the same as mine.

Background

The Suffolk Aviation Heritage Museum have been donated a model Triplane from the Port of Felixstowe. Not sure what scale it is or even if it is to scale in itself. However it's quite close to 1/6th which means I can kitbash a pilot from one of my Action Men.
The idea is to make it into a form of target game. The plan is to mount it on a Gimbal so it can be moved to aim two water cannons mounted on the top wing.
