excellent work!

Although the letters and cross seem a tad larger, letters almost touching the green paint, while cross does enter green paint, and has dark paint into green zone under cross.

Tops!

Very Nice.

Have you thought about doing other captured aircraft, ie. 109 in captured British markings or a Spitfire in captured German markings?
