Absolutely clean building and, above all, painting.
A beauty.

Yeah, nice Raven!  I like variation on the 'Flashman' paint scheme especially.

You know, someone on britmodeler (actually I think it was out own Hatchet) mentione 'Flashman' too.  I hate to be an ignoramus, but I've never heard of that one.  Which is it?

That is simply stunning Nick, amazing!! You've certainly set the standard for me to equal.

'Flashman' was a RAF trial paint scheme which saw a Jag & a Tornado GR.4 painted with washable ARTF grey sides/lowers & ARTF desert pink uppers, it wasn't adopted.

See a link to a model here:

Chris (Falcon) did a F-15 in the scheme too:

Ahh..that clears it up.  Thanks!

And there I was thinking I was being original   

[Glenn Gilbertson]

Brilliant backstory and beautiful model!

[AeroplaneDriver]

Got some new batteries in the camera, so I thought I'd post a couple more pics before this one hits the shelf and I start the next project.





This was a pretty nice kit to put together.  No major problem areas at all.  I may have to pick another one up sometime.

What RAF station did you find that plane hiding out at

Fantastic build

[Brian da Basher]

I really like that camo scheme Nick! It's got a subtlety to it that's mesmerizing.

Holy crap that looks amazing!

I'm with Eddie on this one. Always great to see your work.

  Glad ya tossed in a few more pics because she deserves the attention 

[John Howling Mouse]

Wow, she just keeps getting better with every additional view.

OK, what's with the Saint on the tail?

I have a Revell Frogfoot, and I hope I can do justice to it like this.
