Hi, As the Modellexpo 08-Open 2014 in Stockhom theme is Africa I decided to make a small contribution, a Rhodesian Hawker Hunter. I used Revell's Hawker Hunter FGR.9 with some Brengun PE and Xtradecals, all in 1:144.
1/144 pictures:
And just as I had started fiddling with this little fellow above a Second Hand kit of the 1/48 Academy F.6 came in sight. I could not resist it and added some resin parts from PJ and PE from Eduard together with MAV decals in order to convert it into a decent looking Rhodesian Hunter.
1/48 pictures:
I could not find any good pictures of the various antenna configurations for the Rhodesian aircraft so I might just have got everything wrong, but at least I have tried to make it look like an early 1970's bird with some scratch-building.
Same story for the front office, no decent pictures available. If I have understood everything right the Rhodesians made some upgrades to keep their precious Hunters alive, so I added a few part, probably a long shot
And finally a family portrait
Thank's for looking! Cheers /Fred
