Pretty happy with the end result and looking forward now to building mt 74 Sqn version.

and so you should be, a fantastic example all round. The only point I would make is that the 'Sharks mouth' looks too vibrant against the rest of the fuselage and maybe a light misting with Tamiya Smoke or a light going over with your pastels would help dull it down.

I take it you made a right mess of the right hand side then? Only kidding TC - good job as usual and very realistic - and you saved 70 quid!

Cheers Scott. Point taken about the markings looking a bit too clean. I`ll dull them down a tad for the re-shoot.
