AD, the end result looks Very cool - the whole finished concept looks beautiful.  The camo, the roundels, she's just all over and looks great.

All-round fantastic job! The camo, the markings, the story! :bow:

EDIT: What colours did you use for the camo?
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

That's one fantastic backstory and a crackerjack Phantom, AD! Those SEAC markings and camo are a natural which you managed to capture to perfection!

This aircraft survived the war, and is currently on display at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford.


Must call in and see her next time I'm down that way.  ;D
Great model and story AD  :thumbsup:
