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.

Very nice Ian  :thumbsup:
And I agree with the others saying it suits the camo paint scheme, it looks a completely different aircraft, and it looks that bit more modern painted up.

It's almost like Northrop designed it with the RAF in mind, it's brilliant Ian,    :bow: :bow:

Ian,

FANTASTIC! That looks SO much better than in the USAF NM scheme, superbly done.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

Yet another masterpiece!!! Superb stuff Ian.

Top job :thumbsup: love the finish, the camouflage suits it down to a T!
wish I could paint that good!
The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

looks good to me :)  The grey/green cammo suits it.
I always hope for the best.

Absolutely awesome Ian, you've taken a subject that I find utterly meh, and turned it into a thing of beauty! :wub:
