Love the way you've finished the metallic surface with the green tinge. looks terrific.

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks guys. Any "green tinge" would be purely unintentional. It's probably the lighting as It was pi$$ing rain outside and I had to take these pics indoors under a weak light. I would have preferred a light grey background but can never find that colour in the craft store.

well maybe, but I still think there is greenish hue across the dorsal area of the aircraft. I need to get my eyes tested, but it looks terrific. Kinda like metal that's been hot and then cooled slowly......
