Well one of these is done, the other's in the bin. I had a real issue painting it and no matter how many times I tried to sort it out it always looked like it had 9 layers of paint on it.

Really pleased with this one however.

The 2nd coat lifted the first Lyle, and by the time I'd removed the paint (again) and tried to repaint in three tone camo, it was looking awful. I'd also screwed up the canopy trying to remove and tidy it up. In the end it just wasn''t worth the hassle.
