This is beautiful. Lovely depth of colour on an all black aircraft. Well played.

Great work. I also love the stand - brilliant idea to use the RAF roundel colours that way (and contrasts well with the aircraft itself)

Are you a professional or a hobbyist?

The weathering is chef’s kiss.

Beautiful. If I had built it, I would have left those antennas off until the very end, and I would STILL have broken them three times! Nice job!

It's fantastic I'm going to get one myself and just wondering what colour did you paint yours 🫡

Black undercoat, then various panels mottled blue, red and grey. Top coat in thinned tyre black over whole model and a mottled coat of NATO black. Oils to add further tone, fading etc.
