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 🤪

Looks great already!

Ekki
Watching!

Łukasz Gliński
Good to see another of your projects Sy!
These markers look interesting, can you write something more? Are these acrylic paint? Can you do the washing afterwards?
Ps. Lucky you, dunno why these kits are so hard to get.

Sy Bar
Thanks for the kind comments
#Gliński I believe the pens are an acrylic by AK ineteractive, they go down really well on primed and unprimed plastic. You can once dry, which they do very quickly, you can use washes oils and enamel thinners.
Here's a YouTube by Ak about there use Youtube Video

Thanks a mil Sy! I have to test them, I really like the idea

Mr D
I struggled to find a good white paint that had strong pigment n didn't need loads of coats, l tried different brands...Velejo, Mig, eventually l got AK Intense white " Amazing" 2x light coats n a brilliant strong white finish.
Im finding my Velejo yellow is bit poor in coverage.... So lve just ordered the Ak intense yellow, it's great paint and goes a long way as it's thick and can be thinned down alot. Recommend paint.

That was an incredibly difficult job with those old decals, but you brought this project to a great end - respect 👍

Alexander Grivonev
Beautiful! Those Revell Airbrush truck Kits are something 👍

Martin Oostrom
Thank you very much. You are all very generous with your compliments

Goldman
She looks amazing Martin.
I am sure not very many of these kits ever got built. A very unique and eye-catching model and a testimony to you skills and perseverance

Bozzer
I gotta agree with everyone else mate. I hate decals, at the best of times, but you grabbed the bull by the horns, and this turned into a prize specimen!
I'd personally display that in the living room, and let it become a focal piece, for conversation. You definitely earned your stripes, on this one 👍

Lode Schildermans
Martin, all comments are well deserved. This is a top job. All your skills in one single project and the result shows your talents. Congrats

Bill Newcomer
That turned out Awesome!

Goldman, mine is one of 2 marked as completed here on Scalemates. So I guess it is a rarity when built.
The combination found a new temporary parking spot just below the tv. My wife wanted her shelf back 🤫
In the end it will move to my cabinet. Too many destructive forces roam my living room, including said wife.

Thank you all for motivating me along the way, much appreciated!
