The finish of the paintwork (especially the undersides and bombs) is superb. Shame about the gun mounting, but then if the aircraft was on the ground the canopy would probably have been closed.

This is going to be a cracker of a model when finished.

Stephen.

Thanks Stephen - hopefully done soon.

I added a couple of small gun sight details in front of the cockpit from the spares box.
Cheers!

That looks absolutely spiffing, looking forward to seeing it finished...

 :o Wow

Just love the feel of your paintwork and finish (the building ain't bad either)  ;)

Canopy looks perfect and I wouldn't have guessed you'd had any issues unless told about them. It's certainly turning into quite the looker

Very, very fine. I like very much the clean sharp look. Congratulations.

That's a lovely job all round Gary. The figures look great for that small scale. Beautiful work and lovely presentation as always.
