Default RE: Building the Mick Reeves Hawker Hunter

Cheers Dick. That pic shows the tailfin registration letter in white ; some other sources show the registration letter in red. Since I found out that I had no white vinyl for my cutter, I cheated and did the red even though I prefer the white (it stands out better). Other differences I've seen in the various sources of 43 Sqn markings for the Hunter, include the XF registration sometimes being black, sometimes white ; and some have the whole belly done in silver rather than "light gray", and the silver band right at the hot end sometimes is shown going all the way up around the top of the chute housing, sometimes only on the section below the chute housing, and sometimes just a narrow band on the housing.

Like I said, my scheme is a S***O scale amalgalm !!
