Looking good. Though the plastic looks like it was hewn from slate!

Looking very tidy indeed!

I have to wait until the outlaws go back to North Wales before I can get the bench out of the garage again and get back to some therapy modelling :-D

I didn't realise there was more red to be added, a VERY good masking job.

You've probably chosen the most tricky scheme for a brush painter!

This is an awesome build R&D. I love what you did with the cans and U/C bays, that paint scheme is a stunner. You are rocking all the way on this one. :lol:

The Javelin is a very cool looking aircraft.

Great paint job - very complex but seems to be quite sharp and everything in the right place.

I take my hat off to you sir, for getting such an excellent finish using a hairy stick.

Definitely hat tipping time, awesome paint job.

It looks appropriately festive in those colours. Almost as if Santa had upgraded from the sleigh. :lol:
