Thanks for the comments guys,

it is a nice plane jay, the exhaust and nose detail make it more interesting to look at than most.

I've started to texture - I would have liked to work more on the model but I just need to get a decent selection done for my hand in in July (though neostrider, your comments about the rivets have given me the idea to add the panel seam with a bump, but actually place duplicated rivets around the plane, will add some nice detail and stand out better than a map - cheers).

Main thing I notice is that I need to alter where the wing meets the body - should sweep up more, bit to right-angled just now.

cheers again,
