The pics have the feel of old hand-coloured photos, very pleasing. And much as I'm not a fan of old 70s IL4s, that is a proper piece of work. Not sure if it was mine whether I'd want the asymmetrical tank though. But top work, fella.

It's like cut gem. Very pretty. The tank is a bit 'Phil Oakey', but yeah, why not? :thumbup:
