That is just effing stunning

What a gorgeous aircraft

Your building skills are only surpassed by your creative paint

Of course the backstory had me giggling

Ah, yes, Madame Chow's famed "Blue Spat Special"

NICE!

Very innovative paintjob and markings. Another all-round Original.

That's an awesome paintjob, Brian! And it's great to see what you made out of that unloved kit; it had been sitting at the bottom of my crappy started kit box for a long time!

Looks great Brian! Reminiscent of the I-16 prototype.

Great paintjob Bri!

Plausible and really good looking in those markings!

That camo pattern truly blitzes the eyeballs. Superb!

Very cool camouflage, it looks exactly like a field applied camo job...convincing as get-out !

Looks good. I like the job you did on the camo.

As brilliant as your stories are Brian, I've noticed a recurring theme in them that I feel compelled to ask about. All your famous planes rightly end up on display in museums or monument as is only right and proper, but all of these are located, convieniently some would say, right next to eateries and restaurants. Is there any particular reason for this or you permanently hungry when you write your prose??

That is an awesome camo job.

You know as a guy who uses an airbrush all the time it's easy to forget that you can get a great job with an ordinary paint brush.

Yes, as a bachelor, I'm usually forced to eat my own cooking.
