Impressive Mike. There was/is an old Hunter in front of the af base near the camping I used to go on summer holidays.

Thanks Stephan, Martin and Christian. Yes, its not bad that for OOTB. In retrospect I would probably have painted up the instruments rather than use the decals. Overall very impressed with this little kit so far. There is some very nice detail included for a budget kit.

Used the suggested Revell colours for this build. I think they are rather too dark? But then again Hunters were rather a darkish scheme. Some highlighting should lift things up a bit.

Hi Hans. A work in progress! I used the green suggested by Revell - Email 65 Bronze green matt. Yes it is very dark by comparison. However, it is probably a fair match for an 'as new' scheme. They had a pretty dark scheme originally. Most recent(er)pics of Hunters show them pretty faded etc. I am working on that now. A few more pics to add yet!

Thats it Hans! Just playing around really on this relatively cheap kit. I must say it is a rather good cheap kit.

Thank you Neuling and Slavo. Yes heavy weathering. Was aiming at about ten years out in the rain. A bit of an experiment really using dilute enamel hand brushed washes. Its a bit hit and miss!

Interesting weathering, Mike. It looks like it has been 10 years in the sun, rather than in the rain...

Lovely build Mike, the weathering looks quite a bit like the "dummy" aircraft that used to be left out on airfields during the Cold War.

Thanks Martien, Gordan and Guy. Yes Gordan I see what you mean. Bleached rather than stained. A subtle difference and one to explore further! Yes Guy I used some pics for reference. Very pleased it resembles that look. What I was aiming for(ish).

Album info
Nice little budget kit with some unexpected bonuses for the price. Notably the drop wing flaps and rocket packs.
I will be building pretty much OOTB but if you want too add a few extra details then have a look at Rogério "Rato" Marczak excellent site. It has a wealth of possible enhancements.
