I was thinking it looks more like a cartoon dog.

15:00 sees the decaling completed.

Just mattcote, the wheels and unmasking.

That looks great Ian.

You should have entered the locusts in the Bug GB.

I thought he was collecting the locusts for tea, after the (pre-)breakfast mush, who knew ....

Nice work BTW ....

Aircraft is a bird so I figured it was one very angry bird (storch). But there are a resemblence to some Duckburg characters...

Excellent build, Ian! Nice mugs too. The locusts I can do without though.

Brilliant finish ian.

So at 15:45 the mattcote was on and drying.

And at 16:05 the masking was removed.

So I'm calling that a completion in 21 hours and 5 minutes!

I'll take some 'glamour' shots once the mattcote has finished curing.

WOW, I didn't expect that paint scheme. Every aggressive for a Blitz. You get extra points in my book. Well done

Brilliantly done...especially the squiggles and glasswork.
