They'd make a good pair for sure Dave.  :thumbsup:

Hmmm, the paint job could be better. While the main areas of red, white and blue are OK, the demarcation stripe between the red and blue on the fuselage sides is rubbish. Masking it was so difficult, as explained above, and the result just isn't good enough.



I'm going to try and improve it by overlaying a true parallel strip of white decal and hope that it's dense enough for the poor paint not to show through.

The underside looks pretty good though, a plus point.

I have to say, the scheme works for it though. The Swift isn't a particularly graceful design to my eye, but this hides some of the odd curves.
