Nice looking machine George.

I find it hard to make a NMF scheme look weathered, but it looks like you nailed it. Very well done George!

That might be my favourite of all the ones you've done so far Geo. Good work man.

Thank you very much Andy. After I posted the finished shots I straightened out the canopy, which can be noticed in the head-on shot and glued the prop...Doh

Very noble of you to point out a fault to the judges after you posted but I would have picked that up anyway. I look at the head on shots very closely for alignments....

Having said that, there's something on my "Fireball" that the sharp-eyed will catch that I had to fix afterwards.
