Hi Oz, Nice work! I do have a question for you though, are the underwing codes placed correcty? I thought (perhaps incorrectly) that the codes, when viewed from below, could always be read from left to right the correct 'way up'. Does that makes sense? I guess I could say that maybe the codes need to be spun through 180 degrees? In any case, nice work! Over to you. Cheers, Mark

Thanks to all that have stopped by to look and have left comments, I appreciate it. Cheers, Mark

Yep, me too! It's coming sooner or later. I've seen the pictures of the prototype model...it's awesome! Cheers, Mark

Hi Guys, Here are some photos of my finished Hunter T.7 conversion. For some build pictures and robust discussion, check out the build thread here... Hunter T.7 progressive build Cheers, Mark

Hi All, I finished this a little while ago. Here is a quick pic...the remainder of them will be in the Ready for Inspection discussion group. Cheers, Mark

A few more pics with some decals on... Cheers, Mark

Thanks for the info on the bands Bill. It shouldn't be too much longer until it's finished. Cheers, Mark

Hi All, A little more work today...

Jennings, Well he did do the Page racer in 1/48....I know, that is a complete kit and not a conversion. BTW, nice work on the decals, I just have to build them all. Cheers, Mark

Hi Guys, Well I'm pleased to be able to show some photos of my brand new Fisher Model & Patten 1/32 Hunter T.7 conversion, designed for the excellent Revell Hunter kit. I received this conversion a few days ago. As usual with any resin from Fisher, the castings are of very high quality. Along with the resin there is an excellent photoetch sheet and decals printed by Microscale for three versions of the T.7 in RAF service. The conversion itself is very easy to use. The only casting blocks requiring a razor saw are on the bottom of the ejection seats. The remainder of the 'large' pieces come ready to use, some small pieces need to be snapped off their sprue or cut free with a #11 blade. The original Revell kit requires just one cut...about four inches of the kit spine must be cut away to make way for the resin spine. It took me all of three minutes to remove this part. Here are a few photos of the parts included in the kit and the marking options (linked from Fisher Model & Pattern website)... Paul started shipping the conversions last Monday, and I believe he's quite busy casting and filling orders. If you haven't ordered a conversion yet, you can order directly from Fisher by following this link... Hunter T7 orders I think this first version for me will be the high speed silver 74 Sqn version with the yellow trainer bands. BTW, does anyone know how wide the trainer bands should be on a T.7? I have already ordered two more conversion sets so I can complete the other two very attractive options. Anyway, enough talk, here are some photos. Cheers, Mark BTW, don't do what I did in the above photo. The canopy hold open mechanism should NOT be glued so it is flush with the top of the spine. The instructions clearly explain this, but I just missed it.

Melchie, For the first time ever, I'm comfortable in saying to another man, 'nice undercarriage'. Cheers, Mark

Finally here are a few shots of the fuselage and wings in place. Hopefully you guys are finding this interesting or at least entertaining. Cheers, Mark

Well, it's been a little while so here are a few pics of recent progress. I plan on building two of these. This one will be a master for the casting of a couple more. I plan on building a RAF example and and Indian AF machine. First up are some shots of the wings and tail. Next up is the fuselage... Cheers, Mark

That really is a fantastic result. I really must keep moving on my 1/32 conversion of the Sea Fury to the Tempest Mk II. Thanks for the inspiration! Cheers, Mark
