good start Bas, hand brushing models is always tough so consider using thinners to keep the paint as smooth as possible. one thing i can point out perhaps is that the Tow C Hooks (i don't know their real name but the 2 "C" shaped parts on the rear for connecting tow cables) are usually painted a dark gray with light graphite highlights. same for other bright silver pieces, best to paint them a dark gray and avoid the pure silver finish. there are some great reference pics to better describe these parts rather than my poor words.
cheers, mh.
the opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity.
