Nice one! 

   Beautiful build.

          

You can be clean and dirty at the same time...

Clean in terms of the build, paint job and even the weathering.  It's been applied well and smoothly, wouldn't look out of place on a competition table.

Thanks! I did struggle with the weathering. The Finnish Hornets are pretty dirty and the most noticeable dirt is the leaking grease from the slats. But I didn't want to wait for oil colors to dry so I rather tried to weather with pigments, Tamiya's makeup and coloring pencils.

Your welcome. I think you've done a great job, pigments work well for that ingrained grime look that's such a feature of 4th gen jets especially. Really looks good.

All those backstory easter eggs made me laugh out loud! Really, really good thinking and execution! More, please! 

Really cool
