thepureness Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 After around 6 weeks of work, which for me is actually quite good to turn a kit out in that time, I can finally call this complete. I'm quite glade to have got this done by now as I was working towards a deadline with my wife pregnant and due on the 24th of May. Its been some time since I built a kit this big, and that was probably around 6 years ago or even more and also my first jet aircraft I've completed in that time too, the Airfix Nimrod. This is the most recent version released 2 months ago.

IrritableRabbit Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Ooh! Nice big scale Hunter is nice! Thanks for posting that... I would love to do one of those, but my half a bedroom bedsit over the cattery doesn't have room. Now Revell, let us have the 1/72 scale one again so I can do one.
