VERY smart in that scheme Fred, and great work on the re-engine programme too.

Thanks Kit.

Sleek! But why did it end up in just a single color on the upper surfaces? Artistic interpretation at the museum?

Certainly looks very Soviet with those engines, well done sir

Nice.

Thanks folks.

Dizz, it is two colours (actually the same ones as the P.1099) but I put a filter over the top which brought them a little too close together. Especially under artificial light.
There's a demarkation on the Right wing you can see in the picture below.

Good build & back story, Fred!

Oh, ah? On the pics (and my screen) the whole affair looks like a uniform black livery from above. I already wondered where the two tone had gone? Thank you for the clarification!

Yeah, I made the filter with very thinned extra dark green with a tiny touch of black. I probably didn't need the black in it.
