Hi folks,
I would like to present to you some of my models I build in the very dark days of my modeling (it means before I have registered on Aeroscale). In the following days you will be able to some other projects. The first one is, as you already see, the Hawker Hunter F.Mk6. I saw this machine for the first time in the Hendon Museum in 2005 and simply felt in love of its shapes. It's a shame to say but before that day I hardly knew even about its existence. The model is a great Revell kit with just a few scratchbuilt details: drilled few holes and guns muzzles, breakes pipes, something in the intakes and the antennas on the fuselage and wings. I used kits decals. Nothing special at all. Feel free to comment.

A well done Hunter, good effect with the weathering. The Hunter, one of my all-time favorite jets.

Sweet.

I see that I am not the only one who chose to do a yellow trimmed Hunter. Mine is a NMF bird that is in civilian warbird registry. I've just started applying the decals.
