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.Mikeew wrote:

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

Re: 1:48 Hawker Hunter F.6
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.
Re: 1:48 Hawker Hunter F.6
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,

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