You should get it Joesdad its a nice kit.

So I started assembling the cockpit pieces and the intakes last night just some simple job and today morning I painted the cockpit pieces using Tamiya XF-69 Nato black and the intakes piece XF-16 flat alumnium. Once it was all dry I painted the cockpit details flat black and highlighted with silver. After that I glued them together and next stop is too assemble the tail and wings

Finally I manage to do some work on the hunter so sorry for the long delay haha

Anyway so far I've glued the hunter up together and last night I glued up the engine and the front landing gear

So this morning I added weights into the hunter so it wont tail sit. Once I got the front balanced I glued the nose up

The hunter is now looking like one now

I then assembled the small bits that was on the hunter and other parts too

Since I'm having a good mojo on this plane you should be seeing this update more often

Nice cokpit and great progress! :th:
The Hunter is such a sexy plane... :tongue:
If You ask me the two most beautiful fighters in history are the Spitfire and the Hunter.
Both also fly beautifully and are a joy to watch.
I'm so glad we have a flying Hunter here in Sweden. (and a Spit)

:cheers2:
