Super job indeed, @blackadder57!

Thanks guys. Main painting complete with a few touch-ups around the canopy area. Couldn't achieve the look I was going after around the moving surfaces due to AB issue; it started developing spitting issues. Not really sure of the problem. After few minutes I noticed that the air pressure was only at about 14psi with a 2:1 Tamiya mix. I cranked it up to about 18psi and this seemed to solve most but not all of the spitting. Might be a tip problem? I've used this particular Aztek tip for quite a while so it may need replaced. Luckily when I replace one I have a back-up ready. I'm going to soak the tip in cleaner, test drive it and then make the call. Anyhoo...

I did manage to get the look I was after with the cowling

Thanks Jeremy. I ended up with a fresh out of the paint-shop look instead of a been around the block a few times look

Thank you Spiros

Thanks Erik. On finals now; a few touch-ups and add the wingtip lights and prop

Hope to have this completed shortly. On a personal note, when done, this will be my sixth completed kit for the year, a new personal best

Looking good! Im liking these captured Zero's you're doing. At first glance I think of a german plane because of crosses.
