Very nice, looks great. Good colour and subtle weathering, I like it.

Great build, I watched the build thread and it has come out very nicely.

Thanks for all of the comments

It was a lovely kit to build, possibly one of my favourites of the new tools I have completed so far.

I was surprised at its size when placed next to the other WWII aircraft in my collection.
