Cool Hawker Hunter F.5 WAK 1/33

After some break in building, I have started work on a new kit from the Polish company called WAK.

The kit caught my eye due to the colorful yellow and black identification stripes used during the British / French / Israeli fiasco called operation Musketeer in 1956.

This is an elegant fighter plane which I built years ago in paper at 1:50 scale as well as plastic models.

The kit:
Here are a few pages from the kit.

Only comment is that it appears to be overly complicated for a tubular fuselage, but I will see later.

I also got the laser frames

As an additional reference, here is a link to a completed model on a Polish site.

I did not see a building log for the kit yet.

I'll post pics a bit later.
