Thanks Bruce.

Only one...wonderful. I think the Hunter just looks so right in that scheme with the red/blue roundels and your model completely captures the essence.

I agree it looks great

As always it looks lovely. This is how models should be weathered.

Thanks for the kind words chaps.

Excellent build. The markings depict a No.63 Squadron machine XE608 with black/yellow checks based at Brawdy with the Tactical Weapons Unit during the seventies. The real aircraft became a maintenance airframe 8717M at Bruggen 25/9/81.

That is really lovely, Mike... it's not such a bad kit, and your usual levels of TLC have done the business. The finish looks utterly realistic!

bestest,
M.

I agree with the other guys the toned down finish is subtle and well judged.

Stunning.
