Thanks for the comments.

Over the weekend I've painted the red on the fin, spine and leading edges of the wings & tailplanes and given it a coat of Aluminium Hu27001. I'll post some pics soon.

I've got the paint on so here are some pics. I decided that the Hu27001 wasn't shiny enough so I've given it a coat of Hu191.

Here it is before the silver.....

and after.

At the moment I'm still at the decalling stage. Hopefully it'll be finished over the weekend.

Striking even without the decals.

Ta-Dah!

My first aircraft GB completed.

The decals went on a treat despite their age and were sealed in with a couple of coats of Klear. I'd never used it before but now I wish I'd bought some years ago.

I was pleased with the way it went together and with the end result. It looks better than the one on the box IMHO.

I'll post more pics in the gallery.

Good result. The first picture captures the lightning very well indeed.
