Painted and glossed, ready for decals.
There is a little bit of tonal variation there...camera doesn't really pick it up though.

You have a way of making a turd kit come out looking like fine art.

Alright, last one for the year!

Final touch being new pitot tubes. Made from Albion Alloys aluminum tubing. Much better than the monsterous clunkers the kit provides.
I used a larger tube for the insert into the wing tips, to replicate what's on the real thing.

I took the rest of the pics outside, inside pics are kinda blown out and the subtle variations can't be seen.
