The repaint is going to take thousands of those tiny tins of paint...

Nutloose, ref XF 509 - maybe it’s a trial paint scheme if First Minister Nicola gets her way with Independence and we want a Scottish Air Force?

I note 'you can follow the journey back to it's former glory,via our social medias'.Media already being a plural.

Why not repaint it in grey raw plastic color including odd stains from gluing it?

My Airfix Hunter,the very first kit I built,nearly 60 years ago,was in black plastic.

If you want a kit the best is the Revell one in my eyes at 1/32 scale, big enough for aged eyes and fingers and still available at affordable prices online.

But before that came out (which must have been around 1960?), there was rather a poor Frog model which came in silver grey plastic. My late father made one for my brother, but our Hunter-flying family friend 'Farmer' Steele said it wasn't very accurate as it didn't have the saw tooth leading edge.
The original Frog Hunter was an FMk1! |

And the argument as to whether Humbrol no.30 or no.163 is the best match for B.S. 381C-241 RAF Dark Green, and whether enamel or acrylic is the best option, will drag on for months before a drop gets anywhere near a brush.
Last things I sprayed was a set of Jaguar pylons and two 1200 Ltr external tanks. IThe one true scale .. Full size. |
