Rather nice, Mr Bradley.

I can offer a 1-day extension if it helps; I'd love to see it finished.

regards,

Martin

Thank you, sir. :grin:

I may not need it. Just rushed home at lunch to airbrush a Dullcoat - all seemed to go well; I'll check again when I get home this arvo. ;-)

Done!

Taken in rather poor light - I'll get some better shots on the weekend.

Needs just a little weathering, which I'll get done later this evening in between Harvard decals.

A nice little kit, it didn't give me any troubles that weren't really of my own making. I'd recommend it, if you can find one at a reasonable price.

In conclusion, I raise a metaphorical glass to Mr. Taylor, for his inspiration. Cheers, Ted. :beer:

That looks great Paul, the Australian colours and markings really suit it - a good choice.
