Does the pilot eat Frosties for brekkie, and does it use ESSO petrol?

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

All finished now. Straight forward build of a great little model. Paintwork turned out nicely even if I do say so myself. I'm happy with it anyway. There are so many options for a Tiger meet style paint scheme I'll almost certainly do another one sometime.
