Well so much for finishing it tonight  , this last bit is being a right PITA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Done the Red on the side cowlings............then masked off the areas where the silver goes, however, the decs which line the edge between the red and silver are completely the wrong shape!!..........also there is two small decs which cover a domed part under the cowling to complete the logo..........these just ain`t havin` it!!!!!!!!!!!, gonna put it too one side this evening and carry on with it tomorrow..............otherwise i`ll end up getting the `ump with it  |

Ferkin awesome, mate. That's a true replica, with the right background it'd easily pass for the real one  |

Ferkin gorgeous geeza.
I've see a fair few builds of this one over the years and I can't think of a single one that looked better.
Fantastic mate, clearly you're in the zone, can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Great work Boots, if yer could just get the Port side to look like Starboard - yer'll have a winner on yer hands Don't confuddle him with this nautical wordosity Neems, ...Boots,what Dicky means is,if the Nearside comes out anywhere as good as the offside,yer'll have a winner!! |
