All done. Satin coat courtesy of Xtracrylix Flat(ish). Aclad Al in the tail pipe. Some wire for the windscreen wipers. Temporary stand for now. A very enjoyable build that turned out well and I feel I've cracked (at least partially) the HSS finish. The only weak point is the canopy which I got overly fussing about and has some stress marks in from me clamping it down, and PVA under the the front edge.

Well done like David said it’s hard to believe it’s only 1/144 scale it looks a lot bigger.
