To be honest i used to work at DeVillbiss in the airbrush department, i travelled the world showing off painting on tee-shirts but and this is a big but, haven't painted a mini roof before this one, and i've painted this one three times now, also the airbrushes have seen better days and the paint was very poor, normally do a lot better than this,

who is this?

Very nice work but sorry I have to be pedantic and say that you have masked/painted it incorrectly. The St Patrick red diagonals are incorrect in their positioning.

Please see the link below

That's not pedantic, pedantic would be to say it's only a Union JACK when it's flown at sea on a jackstaff, what you have there is the Union Flag.

God Bless the Queen...

Edit - Forgot to say, it's looks awesome, different and unique take on the (in my opinion) over done flag.
