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

Thanks Duke, much appreciated

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.

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

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.
