Awesome build! 👍 The engines look incredibly good.
How was the fit? Because I still have them in the cupboard too.

that is a beautiful job!!! as said by Erik and Michael, paint job in all the metals and the exhaust is simply amazing.

Thanks Folks, I'm glad you like it.
@Erik No, the fit was good, trim 1mm off each of the lugs on the engine pods where they go into the fuselage and they just pop right on.

Outstanding Flanker, Duncan! The BMF panels are particularly well done 👏👏

Beautiful work! I'd love to know how you painted the horizontal stabilizers? Looks remarkable!

Really nice build Duncan. Great work on the metallic areas. Top job Sir.

Thanks again everyone.
@Lochsa River, I used a Mig Oilbrusher ("Starship Filth" colour) oil based paint heavily thinned.
@Jorge Avila, I first painted them AS-12 silver then masked off the rows of rivets with 0.4mm masking tape and then used various very light coats of AK Xtreme Metal colours (like pale burnt metal and burnt metal) to build up the metallic colour. Once I was happy with that I used very thin clear orange and clear blue acrylic paint to add the staining. I could have gone a lot further with the staining but liked the subtlety as it is.

Hurray! No excessive pre-shading for a change! :clap: Fellow modellers please take note.

Duncan, your work on the stabilizers and engine/nozzles can be used as a reference for every modeller! Masterclass!
