Fantastic painting and weather work. Maybe decals has something of silvering effect.

Cheers!

@Cuajete: I don't think it's silvering, it seems it's just the carrier film showing under certain angles, although I'm not sure since it's hard to tell on a grey background. At least it doesn't look too bad, I've had way worse results before 🙂

Really nice to see it painted up, especially in those markings!

Thanks again! Found some time for some pictures. I will probably try some more matte varnish to try and kill off that sheen, especially on the decals.

All in all, a really nice kit despite a few shortcomings. I was not a fan of the Hornet before, and building this made me change my mind, it is a nifty looking plane afterall.
