Photos 1/72 Hawker Hunter Thunderbolts

In the year 1982 to mark the golden jubilee of the Indian air force nine hawker hunter from the 20th Squadron was painted in special paint dark blue and white, which look like thunderbolts. The aerobatic team didn't last very long and retired in the 1990s and hunter retired from IAF a few years later.
For my project I use Revell Hawker hunter, good kit but I almost give up midway as the front canopy while masking fell down from my finger and took forever to find it, only to very closed to you and me looking at the wrong place, masking was a tedious work two days to do it, however, am quite happy with the final results, so here it is. Thank you for looking, cheers.

Nice Tom. That would have been some bloody hard masking work for the body as well as the canopy.
