That's a nice finish Iggie, and certainly a different scheme from the normal.

(how did Mrs Iggie take finding out about the paint on the sofa?)

That really is a good looking Jug. I seem to recall seeing an Israeli Spitfire in a similar scheme some where on the web.

Thank guys :grin:
I'm still not entirely happy with this one, and will try better on the second when I get around to it 8-)

Not too bad thankfully; I did offer to go over the silver, yellow, dark earth, dark green etc. etc. with some NATO black but the offer wasn't taken up :-D

Considering acrylic paint can be thinned with water, it's pretty darn stubborn when it's dried :shock:
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

That is really nice!

If you lose the RAF roundels, it has that kind of 1960s "Batman" look to it! :-D
