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

Re: OT Tries not to kill an Albatross
Thanks guys, nearly there now.
Last night I got the drop tanks & rocket pods installed, I think they make her look a bit more functional.
I have applied some Flory's wash to highlight the lovely panel lines and dull things down a bit. Still need to apply the wash over the nose section but am waiting for the last decals to dry out first.
The bort numbers are a little over sized but they were all I had.
So all I have to do now is give her a flat cost an unveil the canopy. That's where things usually go pear shaped.

That looks very tidy indeed! The weathering has toned it down just right
Best wishes

Looks very good, the colors all seem to work together in an interesting scheme well-applied !

Thanks guys, it was worth the effort in the end and I have ordered a couple of metal pitot tubes just to finish it off.
