  Happy Merdeka!     Malaysia National Day 2006

 

These are my latest creations but not Malaysian based actually. They are the Hunters from the Indian and Singaporean Airforces. Always liked the Hunters and decided to build two of them. OOB only scratched the tailpipe shroud and the various antenna I saw from reference pictures. The Singaporean Hunter also had those bumps on the wings added for a 1/48 F-5e navigation light housing. Long wing tanks on the Singaporean Hunter was from the Airfix kit while the rocket pod on the Indian Hunter was also from the same Airfix kit.

Both were finished with a mixture of Gunze paints. Decals for both aircraft was from Migrant a.k.a Mike Grant (thanks alot) they were from the XtraDecal International Hunter sheets. I also customed the serial markings on the Indian aircraft. Very nice kits to put together. Enjoyed building them up with limited problems. A big thank you for Steve B for hosting my article and again Mike Grant for his kind generosity. Its my contribution for Merdeka not Malaysian but close in the region.
