Thanks Ian,
But the issues are not with the model but with me (Brain Fart)
Cheers Rob.

Good recovery nonetheless.

It is a fact that under equal conditions, large-scale battles and whole wars are won by troops which have a strong will for victory, clear goals before them, high moral standards, and devotion to the banner under which they go into battle.

I'm afraid I'm bowing out of this one. Got the Harrier almost ready for paint and then the carpet monster ate two rather prominent intakes which should have gone on the LERX.

Thanks for all the comments on my Buccaneer, guys. Really appreciate it.
Nice work on the hunter, Rob. Looking forward to see more.
Adam, tough luck on the carpet monster. The amount of kits that has been spoiled because of the carpet monster.....

Nice one- especially the canopy. Did you have to polish it?

Thank's JT
Canopy straight from the box!
I filled in back of canopy as per photo's I found on the web.
Decals were a problem,thin and broke up often!
I added more detail to the ejector seats.

Best wishes, Ian

I had some issues with the grey but it turned out ok.
I am nervous now as I am about to freehand the green with my airbrush, wish me luck if I mess this up I don't think I could fix it in time.
Cheers Rob.

Well,
It did not go quite as planned

I made a couple of big mistakes

I had used a pencil to mark out the camouflage pattern and when I changed from one side to the other I painted on the wrong side of the lines

I tried to fix it and some came out ok but there is still a bit of fixing left. It is not too bad so I can live with it.
Cheers Rob.

Not the greatest but I can live with it.

Still some touchups but I'll use a brush.
Cheers Rob.

Rob, I think the camouflage came out fine. I think you are tough on yourself or maybe the touch up do not show up in the pictures.

this looks to be a great build. Keep it coming.
Looking forward to see more

Thanks Jesper!
The problem does not show in the pics, both the green and grey came out streaky and blotchy. But as I said I can live with it and better yet after a coat of Future the evened out!
Cheers Rob.

Rob, your Hunter looks great! I think your camo looks fine and Future is always good for leveling out the finish, in addition to being a great gloss coat for the ole' decals.
