Very very nice. The Jug lends itself very well to a SEA scheme. Beautiful paint job.

Like that a lot, Chef. Very nice 'effects' you've achieved in the fading. You're Spit IX was very similar but I don't think that I mentioned it.

Really well done, matey.

Wow that was quick! Well that answers my first question, the Brassin stuff fits the kit. Is the base kit a repop of someone elses?

Sweet build Dave

Thank you all very much guys!

Luiz, yes this is just post shading, I gave up using pre shading a while back (although I may go that way sometimes with light colours but not often) - I feel I have more control this way. This one was painted with Tamiya acrylics - cover the model in whatever base colour you need to use. Then go back with a touch of black(or much a darker version of the main colour you're using) in the base colour along the panel lines then a base colour with a touch of white and a lot of thinner in the panel centres but not too much. Camo masked with Blu Tak. Not that I need explain that to you of course

You may be right, Phil, but I'm fairly certain that's a BRITISH Thunderbolt II :fencing

Damned, I blinked and missed the build! The end looks really good...

Eduard's T-bolts are the Academy plastic.
