On the home straight, National markings from Xtradecal sheet X72-063. A bit shiney but went on nice with just water.Hoping the old Airfix stencils work now.

On it's legs and tanks added. All decals on. Just the aerial to add tomorrow and gun troughs to add a bit of colour to. Then final finish and unmask.

Is it me or does the sand colours make the Hunter look more modern?

Finally finished a group build within the time frame. Thoroughly enjoyed this one.
