I wanted to start something new (even though 4 or 5-in-progress ...). I set my heart on this Revell Hunter that had just come out.  A beautiful model in the tradition of past productions of this brand : good fit, and many fine details.

In addition, I wanted to have a special markings from my stock decals.  The search for the ideal decoration begins.

After searching a long time to find a non-standard plane, I decide to choose a Jordanian plane, with English pattern.  The decals are from Model Art Decal System 72-007.  But I didn’t find the origin of red facings of the aircraft. 

The underside is painted Gunze H332 Light Gray (BS381C). Then the upperside is done with Gunze H331 Dark SeaGray (BS381C) and green Gunze H330 Dark Green (BS381C). I tried postshading on this aircraft for the first time.
