Hawker Hunter F.58 ZZ191 by James Thomas, on Flickr Sabrina was the screen name for model and actress Norma Ann Sykes who was particularly well known for her frontal areas! The Goon Show certainly got good mileage from them her! I will let you Google her, I'm in enough trouble as it is! Lovely progress on your Hunter there Ced.

71chally Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) Looking at the just reissued Revell Hunter kit it has reminded me, apologies if mentioned before on the Hunter there is no rear canopy frame, it's really a blown piece of perspex with metal canopy runners/frames at the lower edges where it meets the fuselage, and a thin finishing metal hoop strip at the leading edge. The rear of the canopy is chamfered up a bit from the inside to clear the forward edge of the dorsal spine, and there is a clear stiffening hoop inside at the trailing edge which seals against a ridge to assist in cockpit pressurisation. click to enlarge image Hawker Hunter F.6A XF515 'N-294' (G-KAXF) Dutch Hawker Hunter Foundation by James Thomas, on Flickr Edited March 29, 2018 by 71chally 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedB Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Thanks Guys 😀 Still away and only have the phone. I can’t really type on that so just a quick post to let you know that eModels sent me an email announcing the re-release of the Revell FGA.9... Too late for me but worth a look? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whofan Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) I have read with interest the comments on RAF Halton during this build, so you can imagine my surprise when I read today that Masterchef will be at RAF Halton in Aylesbury in the Wednesday night episode (8.00 pm, 4th April). I hope this is the correct RAF Halton! I hope this is of interest to the BM'r's who served at Halton. The contestants will be preparing a meal for 120 RAF personnel as part of the centenary RAF celebrations. I am waiting with bated breath to see the programme, as the trailer shows Torode and Wallace striding out, wearing flight suit and helmet! I imagine they are going to be flown in to the base, but it is also possible they got kitted up for some ambience! Apologies for the drift, Ced, I am sure things Hunter will pick up soon!

The one where one of x number of chefs cook to win the right to cook a 3 course meal for a banquet. It was served up in the Officer's Mess, Halton House ( a Rothschild built mansion) I went there with my Dad 4 or 5 years ago, also ex Halton for the 1st visit together since I passed out in 72. I managed to get lunch for both of us in there. The BBC or production company were filling trucks up with all the furniture used for the Banquet days before our visit. The mansion has been used in a few films and TV series, an MOD pocket filler. Thanks for the warning ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Revell Hunter is definitely worth a look and to my mind the best Hunter in 1/72nd, I bought a shed load up at a bargain price when ModelZone went belly up (4 for the current price of 1 at the advertised price on the BigH). The main wheels wheels are undersized though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and I intended it as a heads up for people, not a warning! Unless you can't stand Greg Wallace .... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snap! Unfortunately I then sold half of them off, so only have eight left.... But if anyone does want to buy the re-issue, it might (stress might) be worth buying them now, as given Revell's ongoing bankruptcy problems, who knows how long they might be around for......
