Apart from a final coat of varnish, this should have been complete now...except that I forgot to paint one of the landing gear doors :oops:

Still, as complete as it gets for now, final door and varnish later this week.

Really nice Rob, lovely job. I think your painted on maple leaf looks loads better than the decals TBH. I think your rescue is excellent work.

I does, but even the thought of airbrushing the rest of that livery on gives me the creeps. Airbrushed on perfectly, and on a better/larger Hornet, it would be a real stunner though..

Wow :) That's amazing work you've done there Rob, especially with your maple leaf. And I agree with the others, I think it looks better than the original decal.

Really colourful. I think you should treat yourself to a new kit to celebrate your fine work ;-)
