Thanks Mike. I’m really enjoying this build, but kinda sad that I won’t be having it on my display shelf. I’ll have to keep my eye open for another to buy someday…

Camo looks great, Carlos! Something appealing about a hard edge camo demarcation!

I agree! It does give an extra neat appearance.

The overhead shot looks like a completely different plane compared to the HF mk. VII your doing

Between the different engine noses and the clipped vs extended wings, different style canopies, plus the broad chord tail on the Mk.XIV, let alone the paint schemes, they do have markedly different looks.

Thanks Brandon. I think that the end of war large sized four color upper wing roundels really add a nice splash of color on top of the camo pattern.
