Looks amazing.  I'd leave the highlighted rivets off.

Definately prefer the new fasteners.  One thing I'd add would be some chipping around where the canopy slides.  Perhaps some scrape chips or something like that under the yellow.

Changes -

Added canopy chips along lower edge and sliding to fixed front canopy join.

Finally found location of front lower nose intake, so added that.

Re-did "Edmonton Special" logo.

Defined area around exhaust stubs more.

Reduced saturation to 'dull' down colors.

Hmmm.  I like the brighter colors better.  The yellow looks like a brown/yellow or tan on the new one.

Ya... you dulled up the yellow too much.

Thanks all.

Think I'm just about finished :)

Two things I can't do anything about -
1) Stbd upper cannon shrouds get color from rear wing.
2) Port side outer leading edge yellow has a gap, color comes from rear part of wing.

Both bugs posted in Bug forum.

Will take the weekend to have a good look at it, if I'm happy will submit on Monday.
Will put on ah-skins.com later today.
