Well that has turned out rather beautifully, the engine is a real tour de force. What a good decision to leave the cowling off to show all you amazing detail painting.

As beautiful as ever! The light blue colour really takes your weathering very well and the linen effect is... well... effective. 🙂

I don't have this kit, but, as always, your modelling is quite inspiring and if I did have the kit you'd have made me want to start it!

Beautiful results on your build Mike! As has been pointed out the Linen effect and weathering are very effective on the light blue.
I Like the Humor added with the Dog!

Very inspiring Mike!  If I ever get around to building another Airfix Hannover, I’ll do it in this scheme.  Thanks for sharing.

What can I add that has not already been commented on? Superb model and finish and a very nice touch of humour.
