Airfix 1:72 Hawker Hunter FGA.9

Well it's finally finished.

Was given the kit for something like my 15th Birthday (22 years ago!), started it in December 2008 during a few weeks off sick from work then a few bits here and there until finally cracking on with it late last year.

Must say I'm very happy with the result and it was a lovely kit to build even though it is quite basic

Painting instructions did say gloss varnish on the upper surfaces, maybe I did go a little mad though

One bit I was very pleased with myself for doing was to leave the little blobs off the top of the wings until it was all painted and the roundels in place. In my teens I would have just left them off
