Very nicely done. Are they decals on the nose or painted on?

Thank you gazza l. I seldom use decals for compound curves anymore. I first painted the white base and then the yellow followed by the red. I just cut out a bunch of small squares about the size of the decals to use as a mask. It was actually easier to paint them on than to use the decals.

Great job on the kit.  One of my favourite fighters. 

 

Just one point. The red stripes on the paper drop tanks were not visible when fitted to the wings. The lines were for alignment purposes and were covered by the straps which held the tank to the wing.

Hi Noel, thank you for pointing that out to me, That is really a good point, never knew that before. I did find a photo of what you are talking about. See pic:
