Looking pretty good! What markings and scheme are you planning for this build?

Building this scheme, think its Czech markings.

The build was fairly straight forward, a few fit issues, and cockpit detail is not extensive, but alltogether a good build.

Looks like a 'Tiger Meet' scheme. Nice!

Looks okay to me!

Excellent! Your first attempt at preshading is far better than mine! I still can't get mine to look that good.
