Paintjob finished and the P.8 have got a coat of gloss varnish. Time for the decals.

At last - the end of all this seemingly endless PSR. Time to put some paint on the P.8

Great scheme  :smiley:

Anyone else getting a slight Sukhoi vibe from the P.8's new canopy?

You're right. It look very Su-22ish.

Decals have just been put on. Now it's time for the last details and of course make up the history. But that will have to wait, as I'm off to Copenhagen to visit my daughters and some grandchildren. And to celebrate a stepdaughter, who have just passed the finale exams in her education as a journalist.

 That came out pretty nice. Congratulations to your granddaughter-the world can always use more journalists.

All your careful PSR effort paid off to be fine English Electric P.8 rendition.  :smiley:
Is true to the concept literature and toss in paint job which is something different for Electric Lightnings.  :smiley:

The P.8 is done - at last. My brother is a photo nerd, and he came around the other day with his expensive and fancy camera, and took  pictures of a much better quality, than what I can master with my small pocket camera.

The P.8 looks great in that camo and from that last picture, it really has an Su-22 flavor to it.
