This is my first completed kit this year, I have been suffering a massive loss of modelling mojo (nearly 2 years).

My Airfix Gnat its built almost OOB, I just added a few details to the ejection seats.  It's a great little kit, simple to build but a pain to paint as the day glow orange is a pig to get right.  I used Humbrol enamels throughout the build and have weathered the paint scheme with pastels and washes this was mainly to try and tone the lurid paint job down a tad and get a more scale effect (it looked a bit toy like). 

I enjoyed building this one, just what I needed to restart my modelling mojo.
