Hmm, Flag Officer - Training more like, but pretty nontheless.

No idea what mark or model, (but the bottle of claret I've just consumed has something to do with that!) bit it looks more than pretty good to me!

I can only worship[ at your feet!  I have whiffy ideas for Spits, but nothing like this!

Noice.
I particularly like the shade of blue.

[The Wooksta!]

It's a Tamiya colour, but the bottle got chucked last week as it had dried up.  Hence the canopy framings in a slightly darker shade of blue (Xtracolour RAF Oxford Blue).

TBH, I hate the Tamiya paint.  Doesn't react well with my choice of thinners for acrylics - car screen wash - and I really disliked the smell.  Pity, as that shade supposedly matches RAF Deep Sky.

It's close to the colour if the Australian sky on a scorching cloudless summers day.  Deep sky is a good name for it.

And another real beauty Lee ! Love the colour on this one. Always been a fan of the contra prop too

Nice one Lee.  

The colour looks very similar to the ArtFX rattle-can blue I used on the H.A.T. here: http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,38469.60.html That came from Halfords, but various art shops also sell the same stuff with different brand names: you can tell they're all the same because they carry the colour on a hemispherical cover on the nozzle end of the can, instead of on the cap. It's goes on well, but word-of-warning: you MUST put clear acrylic on it before trying to put decals on. The painted surface is practically hydrophobic, causing water to bead and run right off.

I love it! That colour really makes the machine look extra pretty.

Very nice! Belly shot please?

I can almost see that turning onto the approach at Yeovilton, all the matelots on the ramp in their best No. 1s and the curbstones glistening in their new coat of white paint.

And then the fixed jaws and carefully blank expressions as he makes the worst landing ever....
