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

I think that is a fantastic result and well worth all your efforts. The nose and tail mods make a real difference.

You mention painted tape for the canopy framing. Was that Tamiya tape?

I use ordinary decorators tape. I find it just as good for framing and masking as Tamiya tape but at 3 rolls for £1.00 it is much more cost effective.
