Good progress mate. You could do a whole flight of those tiny birds in the time it takes to do one medium-sized aircraft!

I believe I have a picture of this plane when I traveled to St. Petersburg. I'll look through what I've got on photos and see if I can find a color photo for you.

have re-done the demarcation line between the upper and lower colours as it looked a bit ropey in the pictures.
i've also added the covers that were over the nose guns that i had missed off before painting
