Great work, came up a treat!
Must give Joe’s gloss coat a go on my next build.
Look forward to your next build.
Thanks! Joe’s gloss coat is actually amazing. Smooth as glass.

Nice camo paint job! There is no way that I could do that.

Beautiful! I hope mine turns out half as good. I have the same decals so I’m glad to hear they worked well. Techmod aren’t exactly the greates. I do intend to paint on the main stars though.
Thanks Lawdog! I’m sure yours will be awesome. I thought the decals were fine but I don’t think Techmod did a good job on the color profile. It differs quite significantly from the actual photos, particularly the ocean gray camo pattern and the invasion stripes. I suspect you’ll paint the stripes instead of using the decals. I need to try masking the main stars at some point. The bars over the ports on the sides of the fuselage were a little tricky with the decals. Lots of touch up work there.
Yeah, I think the underside should be RAF light grey as opposed to NMF too, but who knows. The guy I’m building it for doesn’t know if he wants full stripes or not. Yes, I intend to paint all main markings, possibly even the HV-A too. Again, outstanding job.

Thanks Lawdog! I’m hoping for the stripes on yours.
