It's a great finish, and I think you achieved exactly what you set out to do, which is a heavily weathered finish.  The filtering and the worn spots really look like a bird that was "rode hard and put away wet".

Regarding the fit of the clear parts, though, I think you have the rear panels mixed up, left on the right side, right on the left side, and that's why they don't fit that well.

This is one of the classic kits and yours is looking better than mine I hate to admit. Maybe a rebuild should be on the list. M. Brindos is always out doing us on this kit but he does have a lot of practice,LOL!

Many thanks all.

 

Baron you are correct they are backwards.  Saw it to late to do anything other than grin and bare it.

Hodakamax there will be redos for sure.

I don't think I've out done anyone, Max. My build is just one of many on this forum. I think I did my best with it though. 

Besides, eventually I'll have another whack at it with those Brittish markings no one ever uses lol. The 7th time I build it may be the best I'll ever get out of it. Who knows?
