Col. Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Planned to enter this one sooner but not having my own computer to ensure I can post a WIP thread is hindering this and any other ongoing threads. At least I've got an indefinate loan of a laptop so hope to join in the fun later this week once the bench is cleared. Next issue is picking one of the many projects I'd like to do. Have 3 Revell 144th, 4 Revell 72nd, two Matchbox 72nd, 4 Revell 32nd kits and a pile of decals to pick from Favourite was going to be a Lossiemouth based GA.11 but a few of you have beaten me to that choice so perhaps a 34 Sqn. F.5 or either WB202 when she was carrying the four dummy Firestreak missiles or an early F.1 to be different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark M Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 guys what would a typical F6 loadout be for dec 57, im struggling to find net photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousAA72 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 guys what would a typical F6 loadout be for dec 57, im struggling to find net photos For an F6? it was essentially a fighter so normally 2 x 100 gallon drop tanks only. F6's did though have provision for RP's and latterly SNEB pods, generally for exercises/training only though - so normally the OCU's and their associated shadow squadrons. There are some photo's on ABPic's of Hunter F6's with SNEBs...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark M Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 thanks bill, ive found a piccy in the 'profile publications 4 - Hunter F6' book at a f6 armed with rockets, so if gone for that, just for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Velociweiler Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Thanks for that. Only appropriate she'd be featured somewhere in this GB. It looks like she'd be taller lying down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just been into my PMs to check something I wrote and can't see any trace of it in my Sent Items or drafts. I suspect I've cocked up sending it somehow???

No rush for a reply or anything, so don't worry about that. I was just concerned that after spending half an hour cogitating and typing it I'd lost the bloomin' lot! Anyway, glad it was useful!

Paul J Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) Just as an aside, in the for sale column, I have added the Airdecal decals for the long nose Hunter WITH resin nose conversion. So anybody here stuck with doing a Hunter with a difference take a look. Cheers. Sorry ...now SOLD! Edited April 17, 2012 by Paul J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancfan Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hi everyone, I had hoped to participate in this one but it is not to be, I just have too much to catch up on to start this in the time left so I will say that it has been great watching these builds and I am sorry that a kit built by me was not one of them.

Paul Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Just over two weeks left and already there's plenty of great builds completed Lets hope there's plenty more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 As I mentioned in my thread, I'm afraid Miss Demeanour is having to pull out of the STGB as there is no way I can finish by Monday and I'm then on holiday until after the closing date. I'm really quite disappointed that I left it so late to get on with it - the Aliens Dropship took much longer than I expected and the annoying thing is that GB lasts until June, so I really should have completed Miss Demeanour before embarking on the Dropship! I forgot that STGBs don't last as long as standard GBs so that caught me out. Never mind, I'll continue to look on at the rest of the marvellous builds and will finish MD when I'm back from holiday. Its been fun watching and taking part in this STGB and it has refined my appreciation of the beautiful plane that is the Hawker Hunter - I will definitely be building a more conventional version at some point as I have and Academy F6 in my stash!

Paul Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Only a couple of days left folks, but what a great line up of Hunters in the completed builds thread already! I'm sure we'll see a couple more over the weekend. The GB finishes on Sunday, but I'm away till Monday so I will do the poll when I get back. Thanks to everyone that joined in or gave the entries their support As always we have to thank Mish for her great work keeping these GBs in line! But most importantly thanks to Bill Clark who offered to help me host this one and then did the vast majority of the work! He hasn't been able to be around much of late, but I know he has been a great help to many of these builds in both morale and his excellent knowledge of the subject. Thanks Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenMG Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) My model is finished, but I won't be able to upload any photos until tomorrow (Monday). Does that mean I miss the deadline? (If so then I would support an extension too!!!) Edited May 20, 2012 by StephenMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not doing the poll till tomorrow so that will be fine I'm sure. I've spoken to Mish and we've agreed that the usual conditions for an extension are not present. I'm looking forward to seeing your completed builds soon though. Sorry guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
