Thank you, folks!

I'm calling the Mossie done. After all, what's some exhaust staining and a Pitot tube between friends:

Many thanks to those who've dropped in and left comments from time to time.

I really love this one!
Probably one of the most attractive schemes I've seen on a plane in a long time.
The PR blue and invasion stripes suits the lines of the Mossie perfectly. Very attractive.

Fantastic job!
