Very nicely done and a very nice finish too!

Any idea of Airfix are going to reissue the U-2 as it's very graceful.

Great to see this unusual; scheme executed so neatly.
Are those kit decals?

cheers,

Really nice model. Is Airfix U2 considered an CBK? Should be.

Thank you very much.

Yes, these are the decals from the kit, for painting Humbrol satin N°129 (gull grey).

A superb build. Seeing models finished to this level is so inspiring. Makes me want to dash out and get myself a U2.
