I also include the rear image showing the Heavy exhaust staining dusty appearance on this aircraft.

I cannot recall the source of the image and have not been able to locate it again, I simply wish to include it for educational and research purposes to show the state of the aircraft at the point at which the image was captured against the final finish of the model.
I will add an additional image of the model from the same angle for comparison as soon as is possible.

Nicely done.

Excellent Wayne. I was going to comment that such heavy exhaust stains might affect the top of horizontal stabs as well but it appears that it's not the case in the photo. Maybe on the undersides of the stabs. Great model either way.
