    That's a quality work, Allan! I usually do my touchups cruedly with a paintbrush..
    Your Beaufighter looks great!

    Allan, your Beau build somehow slipped my radar till now, it’s a fine looking model even more with a seldom seen livery. Looking forward for some more progress

    @kalamazoo, Alan, very nice progress again. I notice the small edge created by the tac-worm, will that eventually dampen off, or is there another way to deal with it when using matt colors?

    Looks great, Allan (@Kalamazoo). Touchups are inevitable, but frustrating sometimes. I always hate to break out the airbrush for a quick touchup, but handpainting the touchup never seems to match.

    Thanks George, it seems like a lot of effort to airbrush a touch up but worth it I think !

    I agree, Allan (@kalamazoo). It is always worth the effort, and shortcuts never seem to work. Looking forward to seeing the decals on the plane.

    Nice progress, Allan @kalamazoo!
    Your exhausts look great to my eye.
    Nice, clean job with the transparencies, you can see your detailed work inside.
    I like the RAAF roundels; they look so cool!
