Hi Lee
Well this keeps reappearing and good that it does. It's looking very nice indeed. Brush painting certainly works. You've done a fine job and, as always on planes, the decals will bring it to life.
Jim

Jim I know it keeps appearing but maybe this time I will finish it. Thanks for the complement and I can’t wait to apply the decals.

Chris thanks for stopping by and the complement. I don’t know what was wrong with me I just kept thinking it was out of scale and things wasn’t going well with it. I’m glad I kept it.

Looking very good Lee. Camo is spot on mate :thumb2:

Tim. Thanks for the complement I was worried about that Camo. This it the first time I’ve ever done a Camouflage pattern and Hand painted it.

Coming on well Lee, after all you can't rush these things!
Many people say you can't brush Tamiya paints, but you've done a great job of it.
Pete

Thanks Pete. I think that was the problem the first go at this I was in a hurry and got overwhelmed. I wish I took some pics of me Hand Painting the Tamiya Dark Green be I didn’t want to lose my concentration on the Patterns. I was a little disappointed when I opened the bottle of Tamiya paint it was less than half full seems the others I have are the same I remember they used to be over half full. Thanks for stopping by.
