Calling this one done as it's gonna get -- I'm at that "tweaking every little thing" stage, and that's bad. Uploading as soon as I get the .cfg entry done.

That repaint looks GREAT on my copy of the WoP Fw-190D-11, Rallymodeller! 
. Even though it's fictional, if the Canadians had actually captured or procured the long nose Dora, their scheme would have been very close to your representation, IMHO. The bare metal has a distinctive 'faded aluminum' look to it, that's perfect. Thanks for uploading your superb brushwork for the Dora, mate.

I know what you mean about calling it a day with tweaking, There is always just one more bit that could be done, I always consider any of my releases as done enough for consuption and I always remmember that bit i meant too redo and forgot after I've uploaded them
Looks very nice, dirty aluminium is a pain to get looking good.

Thanks for the kind words, all. The aluminum is a peculiar lavender-blue-grey colour I got from Hedgehog Hollow's CAF paint chips, with weathering and alphas modified to match. Overall, I'm really happy with the results.
More on the way, I'm sure -- thanks in no small part to the welcome I received with a What-If paint job.

Hey RM, that's a great repaint. I do love "what if repaints". Particularly like the theories behind them. BTW if you haven't already done so, before you upload it, check the fin flash on the right side, I think it's the wrong way round.Revision 1. Still don't have the port wingtip right, but the codes, roundels and anti-glare areas are good. Probably put it up for DL tomorrow.Might also do a couple of immediate post-war ones, one with RAF-style camo, roundels and codes and one with the early PW roundels and VC codes.
Cheers.

Aw, crap! Fixing it now. Can't believe I missed that -- I even have handed Red Ensigns for later paint schemes.
