Must be the effect of the flash, the blue in the roundels really isn't that vibrant.  :blink:









As you can (just) see there's a little bit of weathering around the tail end and the panel line wash has come-out quite subtley. Looks acceptable at this point, next I'll paint the wheel wells then haul the poor thing off to the shed for matting-down. No more pics till it's completed.

Now, you're telling me that didn't happen???

Lovely job mate! :thumbsup:
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.

Not a fan of the F1 (or any other "Mirage" for that matter) but that does look nice  :thumbsup: :bow:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Ian, its a beatifully made model as always, but I'm sorry - its still an ugly subject!

Whoops, you missed a spot.

Oh wait, no you didn't.

I'd say it's 100% complete and total perfect!
