Or is it disapproval ? Anyway wrapped this one up today so here it is . It is the Revell / Monagram 1/48th kit with a few bombs and sidewinders stolen from other kits . The paint was sprayed on using silly putty as outline masks , the decals are OOB . Enjoy

Howdy TT,
Nice looking 'Hog Toad. How did you like working with the Sillyputty? I still have mixed feelings about it, but apparently it works' dandy for you. If you're looking for a little input (?), I would suggest just a wee bit of wear around the canopy framework at the entrance/exit point, and just a tad more along the fuselage edge immediately left of the pilots position (where the bottom of the operating canopy and the fuselage meet).
Also, add some evidence of exhaust in and around the rear of those monster engines.
And, since the landing gear is fairly prominent on this bird, I'd add a bit more weathering, and evidence of grease/hyd. oil on the struts.
O.K......enough critique......but I know you appreciate honest input and not just a 'pat' on the back.
Tread.
Oh...and Stormbringer's completely wrong about the "dangly things" on the ordnance. Whoever heard of 'R B F' tags?...pisshaw! Those are indeed pretty, shiny gift wrapping bows so that the recipient's of said ordnance will appreciate all the hard work that went into getting them such 'heartfelt' gifts.

I echo what Lord Lens says here Toadster.
Love the overhead pic looking from the tail forward - it gives a nice view of what you accomplished using the silly putty when painting "Da Hog". A very good looking effort for your Pig in a Pile build. Cool.
