Good work Kari
Finland is actually not a NATO member. But it is a lovely paint scheme none the less and very well executed.
Thanks Borg, appreciated! :-)

Absolutely yes Bsy! The Gnats were exported with UK camo, in other words a Nato camo from that period (late 50's, early 60's)

A brief update...
The tiny Gnat has not got attention lately, even if the work has been in progress..

The underside has been painted with dull-aluminium (Vallejos acrylic metal colors), small details here and there added... and now it is in the final stages, decaling among other stuff + some weathering after decals. Doubt that the Gnat will be finalized still this weekend... but surely this year!

That sure is a nice job on such a little fellow.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Magnificent metal-work Kari! That is amazing. I'm really looking forward to seeing more on this.
