I finished this off today. It's ok but im disappointed with the clear coat. I think I got a little cocky and put it on too thick and now it's got little cracks everywhere. They don't stick out too much which is good. Might start the 1/72 F-105 next and finish the racing Macchi. Onto the pics :)

Looks bloody good to me. You have turned that little Hobbycraft kit into a most striking and lovely model.

Looks good in the pics Paul.

The cracking may be from the paint underneath not curing enough before you applied the gloss coat (my theory).

Thanks guys. Ray the paint was definitely dry as I'd painted it about 2 weeks prior. I'm tipping I sprayed the One Go too thickly too quickly as I had a similar thing on my black DH88 years ago. Oh well live and learn :)
