My first time at this nice little show, just outside Chichester.  Well supported, car parking initially a bit tight but the event organisers sorted it out.  A good mix of subjects on display, only two whifs as far as I could see amongst real world, sci-fi and comic characters.  Anyway, some pics:

I wonder'd if it was in one of the "Malta" schemes and the effect is the result of a "flash" reflection ?

The 'Disco Spitfire' was definitely finished in metallics, Chris.  And they had a two-tone quality - but yes essentially I think someone is having a bit of fun with a metallic Malta scheme.

You see Batpig, I see Flying Pig.  I'm sure the builder would be delighted to know of different interpretations.
