1/72 Revell Hunter F MK.51

--------------------

 

This is my model of Revells Hawker Hunter, converted to a Royal Danish Air Force Hunter f.mk.51. I built it almost straight from the box, only adding a resin seat, some antennas and I did some corrections to the wings and the fuselage, since the Danish Hunters were like the mk.4, not the mk.6 that Revell has made. The paint scheme is a Hunter from 724 squadron 1973. The green colour on Danish aircraft from that era almost disappeared after some flying, so only the primer and some repainting on the panel lines was left. I made the weathered effect by painting the whole model primer gray and then adding green pastels to the panel lines, followed by a thin stripe of green(fs.34079) over the pastels. I use this technique because I don't have an airbrush, and I think it works quite all right. 

More RDAF planes to come. Happy modelling. T
