Looking good, except the clear paint didn't work for you on the canopy.
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!"..

Nicely done! Those white stripes look great! Are they decals or paint?

Thanks everyone.
I opted to paint them instead of using the kit decals

Wow! The gloss clear coat gives the colours a lot of life! What a change!
Good job on applying the large decal on the engine front! Things as these can be very difficult.
