Airfix B25 in RAF markings

[cosmiccactus]

Hi guys
New to IPMS and the forum so be gentle. I am hoping to build as many RAF subjects as possible and I am at the moment building RAF bomber subjects.

I have an Airfix B25 Mitchel kit and I really would like to build it as an RAF example. Does anyone have any information about how the RAF used the B25J, preferably with the glazed nose and in natural metal? I know the RAF used the J variant for a while after the war and any information would be most welcome.
