Pyro's Finnish Tunnan!

Well, I've been on the scrounge for markings for this, and people have been extremely helpful, so I thought I'd better post it up!

Here's the state of play so far. Main colours are on, and I'm currently doing detail painting and weathering. Looks awful in this photo though...

Main colours are Citadel's Catachan Green, Tamiya Dark Green, and the underside is sprayed with Halford's Mercedes Brilliant Silver. The Dark Green is too brown, to be honest, so I may lighten it a little with a touch of yellow.

Oooh I'm intrigued!

And here she is, finished.

This is of course based on one of SPINNERS' excellent Strike Fighters profiles, though it's not an exact copy. A fun little build, though the intake took a lot of sanding and filling to get smooth, and I botched a few things along the way. Still, I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Many thanks to those who kindly supplied me with Finnish markings for this build - I hope this build has lived up to your expectations!

I like the big roundels. Very '50s. Nice job.

Great job on the camo and the weathering a real show stopper

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

I'm quite pleased with the way it came out, I must say. Looks pretty good in the cabinet.

Looks really nice in those colours.
