What a gorgeous build. The Airfix Hunter is great and your scheme is pristine, Alistair. Wish, Airfix did a new tooling in 72nd scale.
Many Thanks,
The Revell FGA.9 is a lovely kit in 1/72 and goes together well
Superb Alistair. Airfix are delivering some sublime models and yours looks fantastic 👍

Nice Hunter, Alistair! It looks great in the navy scheme.
Many thanks,
Excellent build - that Hunter looks even more sleek in that single-tone scheme.
Thanks so much.
Wow ,I've never seen a Hunter in one of my favourite schemes , I guess they were land based Alistair, does this option come with kit ?
I'm always curious about varnishes as they can be a mine field of disaster at the end of weeks/months of work , does the Windsor and Newton have good UV resistance over time or does it yellow like Humbrol matt ?
Great job , I've added this to my "to do "list
Thanks very much.
The Hunters were based at Yeovilton for the Fleet Requirements and Air Direction Unit (FRADU).
As to the varnish, the answer is I don't know I've only been back modelling for about 5 years but nothing has yellowed yet.
Hope that helps.
Beautiful build- looks like it is a great kit to build and your paint/finishing is next level. Thanks for sharing
Many thanks
The Hunter looks very good in the RN paint scheme. Very sharp
Thanks very much
