Lord Riot Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 This is a great little kit which fits together really well and requires little filler. The decals are excellent with two nice RAF markings to choose plus a RNethAF example. I chose the CFS as I liked the contrasting yellow markings plus they were based at West Raynham which is pretty close to my mum’s! I built this oob except for the masking tape seat belts and a slight change of serial number. I built XG209 instead of 204 as the latter was subsequently lost. This is my first attempt with gloss camo spray instead of satin. The yellow took quite a bit of masking and touching up! 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binbrook87 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Really nice job on the Hunter. Yellow is a horrible colour to paint or spray isn't it but you've done a fine job, and the contrast with the camo looks really good. I love the Javelin too....which kit is that? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Great finish. Agree, nothing worse than yellow to paint for some reason, but you've won 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 Thanks chaps. That yellow did take some work but mostly because of seepage under the masking tape. I since learned a tip from @Selwyn to paint over the edge of the tape after masking the yellow once dry to seal it then paint the camo on. @binbrook87 the Javelin is the Novo one, with the Freightdog FAW8 resin nose. That took some fettling too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cngaero Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Your Hunter looks fantastic in this colour scheme. You've made a lovely model of this beautiful aeroplane and the finish is superb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McNamara Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Nice Hunter, The Hunter is a big favourite of mine. Regarding yellow and other low opacity hues such as dayglow orange, I find that underpinning with matt white is the best solution. White has a higher opacity it seems and can cover well. The yellow or orange then show their true colour once sparayed over the top. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Nice job on the Hunter. I have the same one under repair after numerous clumsy dusting attempts! Edge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZHOU Kun Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 For some reason I can not see the picture clearly. But the bright colors you applied make this the sexiest Hunter aircraft! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Nice F6! Really attractive in that scheme, and I agree that yellow is a real pain to work with, but you did a nice job with it! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
