seanrgb Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Well I was up late last night and early this morning So I have decided to use a PE Colour set on this one the pit was fairly easy to do ( Nicked the wifes Jam Jar Glasses) just a case of Revell No 9 and Glue to stick on the PE But to be honest the kit did include decals for this , but for the price the PEset was worth the hassle Also in the Kit it included seat belts , what a pain in the bottom these were to put on But there again worth the effort But all that hard work only to discover you don't see that much of it now its inside the fuselage Anyway Enough chit chat heres some pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 WoW! Cockpit done already! That coloured PE is neat stuff. You'll just have to have the canopy open to show it off. cheers Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanrgb Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Cheers Guys None of you commented on the Fine job I did on the canopy :rofl: I'm Just been pinting it by brush With those I'm not too bothered about overpainting , because i clean it up with a toothpick plus i'm pretty crap at masking I decided on 74Sqd because of the F4J(UK) I did a few years back hopefully i'll have more progress soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Hi Sean, Your Hunter has come together very well, and I hope that you've been able to finish it and will soon display the results. Great cockpit too, by the way. It sounds like you've really enjoyed building the Hunter, which is the whole point! Any chance you could post a pic or two with the F-4J when you're finished? Cheers, Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
