I think it looks good and the shine is realistic. Here is a star fighter from the museum in Calgary
It was very shiny in person

Really beautifull!! You should warn people though to wear sunglasses when watching…
And love the fact that it is the two-seater, don’t see them that often, should only have been in Dutch colors…

Bit of an update on the Centurion ARV. The majority of the build is done. I found the photoetch in this AA kit very nice and very easy to work with. Everything went together without much heartache and the fit was awesome.
And we are off to the paint booth. Everything got a shot of Tamiya white primer and will soon have some Canadian Army three color dazzle applied.
Cheers

Looks good Todd. Excited to see this with some paint on it!
Looks awesome Todd. Glad to see this kit was not like all the AA kits I have ever built. I passed on an opportunity to buy one second hand recently, now after seeing yours, I regret it.
Peter sorry to hear about your missed opportunity. I have done the same thing and hate that feeling.
Okay Don here you go, all three colors applied. now the weathering fun can begin 
Cheers

OK, I promised to bring a knife to this gunfight. 
Here it is, my start photo for the Hasegawa F-5A.
I’m planning on using the 11675 Black markings, cause what sez Canada more than a moose?

This’ll be nice to see come together. Thanks for the knife 
Very nice looking knife, we had them here in the Netherlands too.
Wish there was a good easy to find freedom fighter in 1/48 really want to build one
Looking forward to your build
Kinetic has a CF 5A in 1/48
Have you built it? I did have my eye on that one but I’ve heard not stellar things about kinetic.
nope. I just have it on my wishlist.

Maybe I’ll gamble on it one day soon. I’ve heard mixed reviews about kinetic but I added their CF-18 to my stash since it’s one of the only ones and it looks really nice and had good reviews
I built the 2017 demo version. it was not bad, I enjoyed the build.

Impressive build and nice colours!
Do I detect a bit of overspray with the black?
There is always the slightly bigger one:
The come up on evil bay from time to time. It was re-popped by Minicraft
This is one of only 3 large scale aircraft I still have in the stash. Reviews say it is very nice.
Okay so I’ve failed as Canadian I’m this campaign. I’ve started 3 builds and failed at all of them. The icm spitfire was a dumpster fire, the mustang is now with @Panzer_modeler and with the churchill I got super burnt out with the scratch interior and stopped after building the entire hull. I plan to return to this but can’t currently use my airbrush so it’s on hold.
Determined to get something done for this campaign I’ll either do my leopard C2 Mexas or Leopard 2A4M so l be back shortly with somethings here
