Another stunner, Ian! Luftwaffe markings are perfect for that camo scheme!

I always feel like a kid playing with toys when I see your work. Outstanding!

Now, that is very fine, mate!  Those decals really finish it off.  Great paintjob, as always.  You could mess one up every now and then to make the rest of us feel a little better about our own efforts!   :thumbsup:   :bow:

Sexy. :wub: Always had a thing for the Tigershark. I'm working on a Hasegawa 72nd one at the moment. If it comes out looking half as good as that, I'll be a very happy bunny. :thumbsup:

Thanks folks for all the kind comments. I really appreciate them. If/when you see this thing up-close you'll appreciate that it isn't quite as good as it appears in the pics...... Anyhoos, now that's out of the way, I can keep my promise to myself and start on the Gekko Tribute Me262
