Lord SS -

I really like what you are doing with the decals... man you are crazy :-) How many you up to now? .... 133 or so :-) They really do look nice when they are done, but I can only imagine the pain you are going through to get them all on... hehe Maybe that is why I havn't done any jets :-)

Very good work - I've been following it since you first posted the cockpit - super job!!!!! As I said before - your skill and versitility always amaze me!

Nelson :-)

Looking good lord Tong, May I suggest you darken the colour to an almost OD i think that would be more realistic.

seriously it looks awesome can't wait to see it finished.

Nice work SS.
I suppose it may be late to rcommend this,but with the red stripe,if you could have scored along the edge of the color with a sharp #11 blade,before wetting it,you could remove the film.Are the walkways near the cockpit decals too?
And where will the 3 tone ambush scheme be???????????

OK....sticking to the revised old rules...the color and weathering of of a multiple mach flying thingy looks pretty good...one question,( if you don't mind), are most non-metalic (painted) jets this shiny? I can almost see the gratutious tone, the others have posted, in the reflection. I 'm sure, seeing as how you did such a good job on the undercoating, anticipating the final look, that your going to continue on with the look of a craft that has many sorties under it's wings.

hehe

carry on Lord Davidus
