I like pizza a lot. But not the little fishies.

So, I have some black to put on the anti glare panel and a little antenna dealie on the tail and I am ready for gloss coat. Future for me.

It looks fantastic. You wouldn't have thought it had been blitzed.

I'm very surprised at how you manage to have the Future coat dry, add decals, add matt varnish and have that dry in just ONE hour! :shock:
My Future coat normally needs 4-6 hours to dry. The matt varnish usually 1-2 depending on room temp. And I usually spend atleast 1-2 hours decalling depending on how many, I'm slow at decalling.

I always like seeing Israeli aircraft. This one looks fantastic, doesn't look blitzed. A quick build and stunning work, Jeff! I'm impressed. 8-)

Well done on getting an excellent finish on a blitz with a classic.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Curses, I missed the last stages of this one due to being busy socialising last night. You've made a first class job of that Jeff, it really does look great.
