Mick,
The paint looks good.

Thanks Andrew, got some more bits painted up so almost ready for a clear coat

Not sure if it's the angle of the shot but I have just noticed that its lines are not dissimilar to a Hurricane, at least at that angle!

Thanks pal, I’ve got the underside done now so more pics soon.

It certainly has the look of several different aircraft

Not forgotten this one but work got in the way. Another clear coat applied ready for a bit of weathering and started on a base. As I was attaching the last few pieces, the separate exhausts, one of the smallest pinged off into space shouting it’s goodbyes as it disappeared. I managed to make one from a small rocket fin and plastic strip and now painted looks good enough.

Thanks Tony. On the decal guide it’s shown skis up. On the wheeled version there’s an extra door fastened to the wheels so when they retract it fills more of the gear well just exposing part of the tyre. On this version the skis cover this
