This is the first aircraft I have done in over 35 years. It's a Hasegawa 1/32 kit built OOB.

Great job Paul.

Did you freehand the camo with an airbrush or use some sort of masking medium?

GOOD! Paint is often key in planes and yours is perfect. I've been missing the planes after postings slowed down a bit. Since it's a larger scale, was there much engine detail? Thanx for a good one!
