DutchEd, great job. You've got me beat on the asembly and painting. I still a Hunter kit on the bench that I meant to build over a two week period over two years ago! Keep up the good work and let us see some finished photos!

Ed HubbartSomehow it is missing the prop spinner. I've determined through some other folks that the spinner from an early Spitfire (three blade prop) could work as well. Anybody who has one, it would definitely be appreciated.

Ed HubbartWon a second kit of Ebay recently. I've robbed the spinner from that one and some of the decals shown to fix this one. Eventually, I will build the second kit as a Mk.II, which has American style national insignia in FAA colors and registry.
