OOB build of a great looking plane

To add detail to cockpit I used the new "Real Colors Markers" they work well with great coverage and so far the "brush" tip makes the job easy and natural

Bruce Huxtable
Very neat and tidy cockpit, Sy. You must have a very steady hand!

DerMattes
Nice cockpit! Folowing 👍

Sy Bar
Cheers for coments peeps, as I said the tips of the markers do all the work but not having too much coffee before also helps 😁

The Hunter is just about the best looking jet to have flown

Great start.

The instruction in step 16 confused me for awhile. I got the cutout bit (seams the large extra fuel tanks interfered with the flaps!) but it took some time to workout the fill instructions.
It's only when you put the newly clipped flaps on you see the gap left on the wing, creating too much drag and the fill becomes obvious 🤪

Can't you strip the sprues as a whole of the paint? Dip them in a bath of paint stripper? Might be a whole lot easier than sanding each piece

Most of the pieces are under carriage, so they're not that visible......but I stay awake at night knowing there are seams and that they must be eliminated! I think I botched the body paint job and I hadn't noticed on its original project. I just went over the lint - think HAIR - with 600 to 2000 and that took care of it. Mostly, I just thought it was funny that whomever I bought this kit from had gone to that much trouble to paint pieces ON the sprues with a brush, only to be done over with a rattlecan OFF the sprues.

I feel your pain. I'm currently sanding tanks on a truck. Tanks that will never be seen, yet I've spent a few hours already on them.

The TS4 German Grey isn't nearly dark enough for the dash. Or, the actual color of the dash should be black, but the instructions called out for German Grey......I dunno, Tamiya.

Buy cheap pay twice.

Sometimes, it's easier to use a thin Sharpie, for knobs and buttons. It dries fast, so if you make a mistake, you can touch up, more or less, straight away. I also use a Sharpie for window rubbers, etc

lots of work, but it is looking nice now.
i got this one accidentally in my stash for a very, very long time.....

Damn thing fought me at the end! I couldn't get the wheels to go into those wonderful gaskets and then the side mirrors refused to fit. I don't recall having had those issues before. Only TOO happy to finish. P.S. no harnesses, sorry. I can't see well enough to use PE buckles and the decals just look too fake, so......them Panizzis were brave!

Kyle DeHart
I really enjoyed this kit. Great job bringing this one around.

This one is 10 out of 11 that made it to the finish.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Kyle DeHart
That is awesome.
