Re: Tim's 1/72 FGA.9
Indeed, Revell's Hunters are probably the best in the scale. There's plenty of choices on that decal sheet by the looks!

I've been slow off the mark with this one but I do have some progress to report. I started by painting the cockpit interior and, instead of using the supplied decals, I gave the panels a dry brush.
