Looks good mate. Ugly but beautiful if you know what I mean

Nice work Paul.

The Javelin is certainly a cool looking craft

Got the MRP Dark sea grey down roughly for the cam then started masking off for the hard edge Dark green.

After masking

High speed silver using Citadel Mithril Silver, tried the alclad HSS but wasn't happy.

Got the Javelin all painted now using the MRP paints. Great colours and great to spray too. Faded and highlighted the paintwork. Decaling is next

the camera over exaggerates the paint effects

Decaling started on the Javelin. Lots of stencils to do tomorrow

Airfix 1/48 Javelin all decaled now. Used mostly the kit decals which while not cartograf were not to bad.

1/48 Airfix Gloster Javelin nearly there a decal to repair and some bits to tweak and it's done

Got the Javelin finished tonight. Will get some better pics tomorrow

Also a pic of it with its namesake the Viggen
