Skyhunter66 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Afternoon folks Ok so my current obsession with the Hunter continues and this time it is the Hunter F6 of Fighter School 1960. A gentleman on Facebook very kindly sent me some of the photo's he had taken of these machines in 1963 when he was on DFCS at Binbrook when the unit left West Raynham. It is my second 1:32 Hunter - the first being the FGA9 of the current Revell boxing and I did this in the RAF Brawdy scheme of red spine and fin so the two together look great - some photos of the two below. This one is OOB except the pilot who is a PJ Productions figure. Upper sides are Mr Color paints and the underside is Halfords Aluminum post shaded with various Alclad shades. Pleased to say I have another F6 and FGA9 to build! May be Black Arrows for the former. I hope you like it Chris Edited October 3, 2017 by Skyhunter66 re-link the photos 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kampartiger Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 wow....menacing looking Hunters, aren't they. I will never stop admiring the beautiful lines of this particular Hawker design especially in flight. The last time I saw, was a flight of three which belonged to the Republic of Singapore Air Force just before they were taken out of service.Impressive machines, one of aviation's best!
