Yes, here is one I did earlier with a Spitfire for comparison (show completed in the next shot)

My fleet before getting on with these 2. The E-3A is still a work in progress and the E-8 was damaged in our move here. I may have to pop it on a stand when I repair it.

Daaaaang! Those four look sleek!

I also like your Singaporean A-4. It's different. Different is always appreciated

Thanks SS

The Beaufort is finished. The decals for a 96SQN RAAF aircraft were unusable so I had to dig into the spares box to make up the markings. I was able to make up markings for a 100SQN aircraft. While the tail number is correct I can't find reference to which letter would have been assigned to it so out of my spares I could only make it E or F. So I went with E. The photography makes the clear parts look worse than they are, not perfect but they will do for me

I am also slowly progressing on the 707, fuselage is done and now working on the wings

Nice finish on the Beaufort Ray. The others are progressing well as well. Particularly like the C-130 scheme.
Best wishes

I slipped this build in while considering how the walkways would be done on the LC-130. 4 day build start to finish, would have been 3 if I was not at the museum working on the Anson.

Good-looking P-51s, Ray. Quite a difference to the cowlings for the different engines.
