I'm also very conscious of the massive visible seam on the nose, but by the time I noticed how bad it was I was too far on with painting with too little time left!

Nice one Brickie! I particularly like the subtle sun-faded demarcation of the top colours.

Well done Brickie the whole world was against you with that build, but it turned out great in the end.

Lovely - can't beat a Mirage for shape and you've done a great camo paint job on that one too.
