Greetings folks, Long time no post and after 18 months, finally a completed model. My fourth instalment in my Suez/Operation Musketeer series. This is the 1/72 PJ Productions Hawker Hunter F.5, a relatively simply full resin kit, with a small photo etch sheet, white metal landing gear and two vac-form canopies. This is my first resin kit and goes together well, the solid wings simply butt-joint to the fuselage. The instructions said to leave off the link collectors, though some artworks on the web seem to indicate they should be present. 'Tis done now. Paints are my usual Halfords Plastic Primer and Xtracrylix Dark Grey and Dark Green with pre and post-shading. Camo was airbrushed free-hand and is not too sharp on reflection. Decals are thin, somewhat translucent and prone to breaking; the roundels got replaced with some from my trusty Xtradecal roundel sheet. After this, it gets a whole lot more serious, to complete the Operation Musketeer series I plan to build a 1/72 CMR Venom FB.4 and an 1/72 Airfix Canberra/Aeroclub B.6 conversion. On present estimates, call back in 2017... On with the photos. Darren
