So just how many pots of Humbrol enamel would you recon it would take to re-do this Hunter in the two tone grey/green LOL???

Are you taking straight out of the pot applied by brush or thinned down and applied with an airbrush?!

[Guest]

A very large airbrush LOL!

[Guest]

I recon 2 . Three if you needed to paint the wheel hubs.

[Guest]

1 should do it

Well I would say you will need at least 100lt to paint that puppy.

New work project Theuns?

Ah ,those 55 Imp gal Humbrols should do ! Now, just to get some aftermarket stuff like decals ect. Wonder it I will need to gloss her and use about 5 gal of decal set and then do the satin coat !!! (after some pannel wash and post shading)

Stay tuned lads

I just want to see the photos when its painted. I am going on the assumption that it is a real bird at work. Any chance of a walk round with the camera?

It is a 2 seat trainer with a very interesting history!

Will be done to Swiss collours piece by piece. No worries on the walk around, just let me know what things I must consentrate on ie. UC ect.

Sounds great. Just think you get paid for doing what most of us would pay to do!!!! Jammy git!

My idea for the walk around was more along the lines of you just going amok with the camera and putting them in the Reference section for all to see/use. I have a Hunter to build but that's an F-6

As far as I knoe the fuse and wings/tail on the sinlgle seater is identical to the dual seater (will have to make sure)

But as for things like UC,UC doors ,wheelwels and detail things like that I will do my best to get you lads some pix soon.

Now all I need is to get the "Badger 5 000 000" series of airbrush, the one that can handle this project!!

I just want to see the that one on a tamiya painting turntable!!

Another good thing is that on your one a thumb print in the middle of the wing will hardly notice, on my one it would hide half the wing!!! :-(

Dont forget to thin the paint and stir it well before use.

Tamiya turn table? no dude ,I don't have money for such luxuries !

Still having a hard time to try and locate a precut canopy mask and resin cockpit :-( On this big scale ,you realy can't hide any lack of detail LOL.

Would love to see it.
