Thank you Wim.
Scott - well, yes - in many cases I'm waiting for some parts, or models are in different stage, so I'm jumping from one to another.
Maciej - welcome and thank you.

Close to the finish and as usual the closer to the end of the worse.
I'm working on exhaust and I got stuck.
There so little good quality pictures of Nighthawk exhaust. On most of them it looks different. Rusty, brownish, grey, dirty white, less shiny, metal shiny - Nighthawk is turning to Nightmare.

real nice effort on that paint job... regarding those exhausts: well.. there is always more than one truth 🙂 but the ones i have seen are more like white... like a salty crust

excellent on getting that black to look fantastic

Przemek Przybulewski
Thanks guys. Lukasz, no need to Sir me 😉
As for the exhausts - it bothers me a lot - if I could only lay my hand on one good photo then I would be able to replicate it. But now, I'm forced to experiment.
