Very, very nice work.  I was about to ask where you got the decals for the nose when I realised they were painted on. :)

Looks a natural in Uruguayan markings and I really like the nose art!

For those of us not up to Les's painting standards, there is always this option:

..and I thought I was being sooo  original !!!  :icon_sueno:

Well, it was bound to happen - I just figured they would have come out AFTER I painted the motif !!!

Thanks for pointing that out Greg....    ;)

Les,  you should be proud of what you did.  Although the decal option might have been easier, it takes true skill do do what you did.  It is outstanding!!!
