Thanks. My second one should be done in a few weeks. Or whenever I can get the time to do it.

Wow, just wow!

WOW !!!

Very nice, I am ubber jelly of your painting skills, I would love to learn how you did this!! Maybe a tutorial video in the future? Either way FANTASTIC work!!

Yes, first rate paint job. The model as a whole is only really detracted from by the fogged canopy and the fact you didn't drill your gun barrels.

Did you use superglue on the canopy, or is it overspray from the airbrush?

If the former, you can stop that by using either Plasticweld from EMA (Or another solvent type glue) or a product used by aircraft modellers called "Glue n Glaze".

If the latter, you will have learned to mask the inside of the canopy completely by now, but if you can remove the canopy from that model, metallic "T-Cut" can be used to re-polish the inside of the canopy until the overspray is gone, or "Fairy Powerspray" will remove all the paint allowing you to re-mask and re-spray before gluing it back again.

In fact, if it is superglue fogging, and you can still get the canopy off without ruining the rest of the model, metallic "T-Cut" may be able to get rid of that for you too. I specify the metallic version as cars that have metallic paint require a smoother, somewhat less abraisive version as there is generally less laquer between the surface and the tops of the metal particles, so you can't afford to remove as much before the car requires re-laquering.

I cant paint windows very well so I just made it one color. Guns I can fix
It is overspray from the brush
