Thank you all. Praise from professionals such as yourselves is a great compliment.
I am calling this one done! Final two photos below - with the two small bombs and mount rails installed. I did not get too wrapped up in making them technically correct with colour bands and stencils, etc. - making them more a representation rather than an accurate portrayal of the real thing.
This one has been fun to build (if you ignore the flying incident a couple of weeks back ) and I think what was a pretty basic kit has actually turned out quite well.
On to the next kit now. I have already selected my next project and will pop a post up over the weekend as I start to document progress.
As always, thanks to everyone who dropped by for a comment or reaction.
