That is certainly something different. Lovely cockpit and well done masking the canopy. Nice shiney paint job even before the polish.

Cheers Jim. I only polished it because there were a few minor marks in the paint surface. I wouldn't normally bother with a polish.

A classic for sure. Covers the broom handle saga

That's a lot of detail in a tiny space. And wow, the colour. I avoid gloss like the plague, but you've done a great job here.
