Well I’m calling this one done, like I said in the build thread it’s a great kit.

Excellent model Ian!
I hadn't realised what a strange shape the fuselage is behind the turret.

That turned out really nice.

Well worn like it's had a busy life but not battered beyond belief.

Hi Ian
Very nice result. That canopy and the turret must have tested your patience. Always good to see a mouth full of teeth :tongue-out3:

Great result Ian, nicely weathered which as we all know is difficult at the best of times when dealing with black

 

[Guest]

Lovely model Ian :smiling3:.I do like all the chipping.

 

[Fernando N]

Great result Ian, love the colourful markings and weathering breaking up the all black scheme :thumb2: :thumb2: .

Nicely built Ian. You have retracted the fairing after the turret...wondered why they ever needed it. If the glued clear part for the right wing lights hasn't cured hard you might want to straighten it or leave it...just happen to catch my eye on pics 2,3 and 14. The chipping looks good and black is never an easy color to paint the right shade.

Cheers,
Richard
