Lovely job Troy, very neat. What paints did you use?

Edit: scrub the paint thing, just remembered your build thread!

Very well done mate, it looks great.

Just one comment, and this is personal preference for me, I think the blue should be a bit more gloss :scratch:: though I don't know how you would do that and manage to get the aluminium to look as good as you got it to look. :bow::

I agree with you - I had it gloss as and it was too shinny, maybe a satin or something - I may go back and do that. It's just a lot of masking work.

Oh I like the matt blue...that is what a real plane would have as a sun shade to block reflections
