And just to prove that I have started! I decapitated the Revell fuselage and removed part of the spine - this is all indicated on PJ's instructions and lies on a convenient panel line. At the back end, I added the Quickboost exhaust and fairing - a much finer part than the kit bits. The basic wings have been glued together - I need to add the dog-tooth leading edges and wing tips. And I started the PJ cockpit.

Been busy again this weekend and, to be honest, I'm still not up to speed enthusiasm-wise. I'll get there, but I really haven't felt like modelling today.

I'm pulling out of this. Sorry, Greg.

I have absolutely no desire to model at the moment. Plus, I am down with a very heavy cold this weekend and next weekend I am going to be away. I've not touched the kit since that first weekend of the build. Just no enthusiasm at all.

It's a shame but you've probably got enough Hunters in your collection. Please feel free to share your expertise with the rest of us though.

I feel your situation Paul, although my modelling mojo is better than it was before Christmas, I have genuinely wondered 'why' do I build models lately, even as far as what's the point of making them!!. I'm keeping going and trying to make sure subjects are really interesting to me rather than thinking 'I'd better make one of those, it's well known' as I did when I was younger. Keep going matey. :grin:
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!! :lol:

I feel for you Paul mate. Total opposite for me. Enthusiasm is there but spare time isn't. Hope you get your mojo back soon.

All the best,

Greg
