'My pilots crowded round to get my first reactions. What did you think of her? "I think she's great", I said. "The Speed is really exciting. And what a steady gun platform she must make.'​

Well done dirk. Nice recovery on the decals as well.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Its a little more weathering then I'm use to doing. Just about everything I've seen in the Typhoons in Action and Ospry's Aces books showed some well worn Typhoons. It's not as smooth and blended as I would like to see or have seen around here but it'll do. Those things should come in time.
