Superb pics Hutch! That 2nd aerial pic is really gonna be helpful. I can see transitions between colors there really well. Must be the way the light was hitting it when you got the shot. Thanks!
In the pattern: Scale Shipyard's 1/48 Balao Class Sub! leaning out the list...NOT! Ha, added to it again - Viper MkVii, 1/32 THUD & F-15J plus a weekend madness build!
Here we go - the ground photos are from Duxford, 2011 -
These ones were taken at the Sunderland Airshow in 2010 -
The first of the in-flight ones is the desktop background on my (rarely-used!) PC upstairs.
I hope you like them
Vell, Zaphod's just zis guy, you know?

Hutch6390 I just checked, Mongoose - it was Duxford in 2011, the airshow was dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Spitfire's first flight. I have a few photos I could post, if you like?

oh absolutely! Would love To see them. I've got a lot of fond memories of going to the airshows with my dad. That's a got me into aircraft. And he took me because I was building models and thought it would be cool. I have a spit in the stash maybe it'll be a future pose with this baby
That's a fantastic job on the cockpit, Mongoose. I saw this beautiful bird at a display at Duxford (I think) some years back, and the paint job drew a lot of admiring comments, including from me - I look forward to seeing this one come together.
Waiting on the paint fades. Got Rare Bear on the table this year.
Pit=wow.
Your cockpit progress is looking great, especially the pilot's helmet. Terrific plan for the paint scheme. This kit got very favorable reviews when it first came out.

I'm excited about it as well. This will be my 1st Kinetic kit. A couple years back i kept returning to their table at the Chattenooga NATS because i thought the sprues looked so good. Will plan on starting it after the Hunter is done, maybe early March.
Wow, that's some paint job! Looking forward this build. The pit looks great - Monogram always did nice cockpits.
Thanks,
John
Oh I’ve spent too long painting shades of gray. So you know this one won't be like the other Hunters that have come before me I showed this pic of Miss Demeanour to my son last year and he ended up finding this Revell 1/32 Hawker Hunter FGA9 that should do just fine for Miss Demeanour, 99% of which will be built out of the box.
…and what she’ll look like hopefully...

The beautiful paint scheme is based on reentry, starting from the white hot point of the nose, through the changing color of flames wrapping around the reentry vehicle and cascading back as if you were looking up into the sky and then into the stars. A literal explosion of colors. Just the perfect build to start the new year.
Off we go with the classic cockpit start. So setting expectations here, this will be all about the paint scheme! The rest will be OOB so I won’t throw many in progress pics in here until then. I’ve got some ideas on how to do the paint fade which should be worth a few pics.
and the almost never to be seen again IP
Really the IP is fairly detailed for the standard kit part. Lots of little detail to pull out and show off. I picked out key items with the brush to draw your eye although alot of this will be shadowed once it's in the fuselage. There are a few pics of Flapjack flying with the canopy open at air shows so I think that will be the scene I set so this is visible. Oh, and as it turns out the project I’m finishing up now is the Prince of Wales battleship and one of the signal flags matches the patch on Flapjack’s shoulder, almost a perfect fit!
