An awesome build indeed!

Hataka paints are unobtainable in SA, like many other good modelling products.

If I may make mention of the numeral font the numeral 1 there shouldn't be the slant before the downstroke and should be a l.

The SAAF in the recent past used the RAF post WW2 numeral font, unfortunately those in power at the HQ don't know what it is.
An example of this is the numeral font on the Gripen and the Hawk.

I don't stray into the model sub-forum very often but that's indeed very good.
