What a beauty! It's difficult to do a realistic looking black. Your's turned out really nice. I've always liked this bird, may have to get one for the stash
Thanks,
John

Excellent, John. The black finish that could be dull is now interesting.

Thanks John, John and Stuart. I mixed a little blue and gray in with flat black. Then went over panel lines with straight flat black. It's a little less pronounced than I thought it would be

I wanted to make some areas look as if ground crew had wiped a rag across the area

That is a beauty!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
