Now thats an understatement. It looks pretty fantastic.

Looking very swish so far. I think the use of the cyan blue flames is interesting. I'm not sure whether the deeper blue would look better, or whether the two blues clash slightly.

Could just be the light in the pics though.

Great work so far though, looks great!

That is looking awesome. Good job.

Looks Incredible so far!

It flat out rocks mate!!!

Woooo hoooo! That looks awesome! Can't wait to get some of the new planes

I don't think there is anything I could suggest that would make it any better. Fantastic work!

thank you everyone for the nice words

Looks fantastic. I do think the paint could use some more weathering and rusting. It looks much newer than the rest of the plane. Which may be the intent, it just stands out to me. When the rest of the model is so gorgeously weathered, but it all just stops at the pristine paint job it is a bit jarring.

I think sponging/painting on some of the base metallic paint paint to represent chips and scrapes, applying some rust weathering, possibly applying some blast/scorch effects, and adding some soot/oil/rain weathering would do a lot to tie the whole model together at a similar level of quality..

Fantastic!

Looks great! I'm digging the blue flames and will likely loot the idea for my bomma when it gets built.

I agree. That said I am blown away by the whole thing. Freakin' Awesome.

Wow! really nice. I painted mine thinking it was pretty good until I saw this. I give up ill just play the grey ork army haha. but seriously good job.

Very nice work! i dig the flames! I'm starting on my jet tonight, with an orange one I think

Your flame job reminds me of my first car to be honest, haha... I'd post a picture but don't wanna derail topic!

awesome detail and weathering. I love the color of the flames on the model, provides a nice contrast with the metallics.

I hate the fact that orcs paint better than me.

Well played sir, well played indeed

The flame designs are outstanding... the only thing is that the blue looks more turquoise but it may just be the lighting. I'd like a darker blue but your painting skills are amazing!

Awesome

Superb!

Love it! My only (tiny) gripe is the flames do not extend to the left airbrake and they do with the right one. Otherwise, Beautiful model!

Who ever accused Orks of symmetry? They are sentient fungus.

I did say it was a tiny one! lol

Very Very Nice!!!! I love the rust effects.

Very nice! Flames are great.

Nice work. Ork players really have a good bit of freedom when it comes to their minatures.

Now THAT is some nice work, Chris.
Is the rest of your army done in a similar style?
If so I would like to see some of those as well.
Very well done.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Actually it's the first piece of my Orc army that has inspired me to actually make an army. All your guys points are being addressed I mean it is a WIP hahahaha but thanks all I will post completed pics soon.
