Great looking model.  Looks kind of like a decendent of the Yak 28.  Great camo!
:cheers:   :thumbsup:

The first two colors went on great, the black spattered which was unfortunate because I really couldn't redo the black without having to redo everything else. The top stabilizer broke off after painting and has been lost ever since  :banghead: Still hoping it will turn up but after a week it was time to post this already!

What inspired it:



The profile gekko posted only a couple days after I painted it!:
