Looking very good indeed Jim.Comment

Once again all your kind comments are greatly appreciated.
Ian - you're quite right. A metallic looking paint rather than actual metal. Thanks for that :thumb2:
The aftermarket decals went on a treat. They really were some of the best I've come across and I only lightly glossed the areas where they went.
You can't tell the painted stripes from the decals
I then airbrushed a satin varnish coat to seal the decals and removed the masking.
I was really quite pleased.

Almost there :smiling: These Israeli Mosquitos were pretty knackered when the IAF bought them from France in 1951. In 1956, during the Suez Crisis, they were used in Operation Kadesh, when Israel forces invaded the Sinai Peninsula. They had been parked out in the hot desert sun, which was not good for a wooden aircraft, and were at the end of their life. They were withdrawn from service a year later.
I have tried to create a very worn effect.
