Magnificent work Stuart! Your paint work looks airbrushed; you nailed it perfectly! Brilliant!

Oh yes we like it! Besides the paintwork also very nice weathering as well!

I wouldn't have known that it was brush painted and it turned out great Stuart. :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:

I've always had a soft spot for this aircraft just because of its uniqueness.

Thanks Joe - much appreciated. I agree, it's a great aircraft and certainly unique!

Thanks Kari - much appreciated. I'll let you into a secret, the only decal I had silvering on was the wing walk - I hit it with four lots of Microsol and it still wouldn't go do - so I used a combination of dry-brushing and stippling to get the chipped effect to cover it up, whilst I was at it I added some to the cowlings etc.

That name/title sounds like a 70’s male adult film star stage name… :hmm:
