Hawker Hunter

[nev]

Got some modelling done today - been spending all my time playing on my new PC    Conquering Napoleonic Europe with Poland has taken up all my free time since then  

Anyway, finally finished my Revell Hunter.  Photos here

Thats kit number 5 for the year finished!  Matches my output for all of 2004.  Can I make double figures for 2005?

First, I thought your beautiful black Hunter of the 'Black Arrows' was a dream . Before laughing, I just asked Google, in case of... Oh, it seems real  No matter, this bird is beautiful, and rare, it could be nice on a black shelf: Black Widow, Black Hunter, Black Bird SR-71, Black Jet F-117...

Only problem with black planes is the dust, they're like dust magnets

I only start worrying after 4 weeks Nev, so you had a way to go  

So what are you then - Poland, Duchy of Warsaw or did the old Rennaisance Polish/Lithuanian Empire survive in your timeline ? And have you got any Lithuanian Tartars in your army ? They were good enough for the Guard Imperial after all (I think Melissa's getting to me   )

Saw the Hunter on ARC, Nev.
Nice one.

Israeli.....Mmmmmmm  

[Captain Canada]

I know where he's been..........over at ARC, building REAL aeroplanes !



Just kidding, buddy........he's actually been in seclusion awaiting what would be the end of the Stanley Cup Playoffs..........something like chicken-wing fever, I guess........




Nice model, btw, Nevster ! Does look like a beauty kit, especially in that glossy black finish you did !

Cheers,

oooooh, sexy!

I know f*** all about Hunters or Black Arrows, but that's a good looking plane.

The GOOD thing about black and dust and crap is that after you've dusted it off a couple of times, all that dust will work into the panel lines and nooks and crannies, and give it a nice 'weathered' appearance.  That is assuming it ever gets dusted off. . .

Great looking Hunter Nev, realy cool in that black outfit.

Haven't decided on the Revell one

How about a Belgian Red Devils one Ian?
