Bsyamato: Have to say again I just love your brush painted pre-shading, I think this may be the best one yet! And the different metallic panels look just right!

That's a lot of detail for a 1/72nd bird, though the Draken I believe was a pretty big plane. Nice work on the decals- though it still seems odd to me for the Swedes to paint her in low visibility grey and then put bright red numbers on her!

If I'm not mistaken, the hi-viz numbers were used for training scenarios, but you see a LOT of pics with them still in place. All I know for sure is it looks kinda sharp. ;)  Bsyamato - LOVE the work on that Draken, net trick for the wheel wells too, I may have to try that myself.

Yeah, I kinda figured the high-viz markings would be quickly painted over if trouble broke out. Just still seems sorta incongruous to me!

As always, I love your work BSY. That's a great scheme on that Draken too. I might add it to the list of Draken schemes that  I will get onto one day.

Cheers

Tony

I'm just taking it one GB at a time.

Yes, that looks perfect! Love the contrast between the low-viz grey and the bright numbers!
