Is that camo a freehand paintjob? Looking very good!

Thank you, I appreciate that.
Not freehand, I used Tamiya masking tape for that..

That is realistic, as far as I know the Brits used rubber mats to do the masking on their aircraft.

I love the Hampden!

That slim body is something extra special!

Again, as the Stuka, the paint looks so smooth!
