When they entered
service with the Turkish Air Force, these ex Norwegian huns started their
carrier with their original users colours which is highly weathered dark green
overall.
Most visible difference with
other D models, is wing tip RWR equipment. Danish Huns are also using
different ejection seats, shorter fuel tanks and engines. Also note the absence
of fences on the wing, they were dismantled from 1979...
Other minor changes are;
- Correction on brake chute flaps, they should be on left side only
- RWR UHF and Bullpup Aerials at bottom of the nose
- Doppler aerial
- TACAN aerial

I also used Aires's excellent
Cockpit and Wheel bay sets for extra detailing.
For painting I used Molak and Humbrol enamels as a base colour, with tens of
tones dark green. Adding different amounts of white and yellow, creates these
shades. As a final touch I used dry pastels for enhancing panel lines.
