Iain Ogilvie Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) I built a couple of Revell 1:32 ones in 2010 - an F Mk 6 and FGA Mk 9 - I really ought to take some photos of them fully complete - but these were taken just before Telford '10 (missing tanks and gear doors): Good luck to everyone in the Group Build - great to see Hawkers finest centre stage!

Thanks Robin, Just one observation on this review. The reviewer says......"I originally built the Frog Hawker Hunter FGA. 9 kit back in the 1980s. It was a joy to open the reissued Plastyk kit and find the same classic kit that Frog released almost thirty years ago. " Except its not! It was a new tool and had nothing whatsoever to do with the old Frog kit - in fact it looks like the cross-bred illegitimate off-spring of Messrs Matchbox and Frog! Shame they didn't take the best parts of both kits rather than the worst parts!! Good luck with your build Robin!!!

Paul Bradley Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Absolutely, Bill. Of the original Hunter kits, the Plastyk kit is arguably the best of a bad bunch. I haven't actually tried it, but the Plastyk front fuselage and wings mated with the Airfix rear fuselage might yield a reasonable model.

Iain Ogilvie Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) And - just to add to the Cybermodeler review of the original Revell 1:32 FGA Mk 9 - the ailerons need tweaking to be parallel in chord rather than tapered (Revell fixed this on the F Mk 6 kit). Here's where it was discussed/illustrated in my last build. The difference (FGA Mk 9 kit left, F Mk 6 right): And what was done: Iain (a huge fan of Revell's big Hunters!)

Paul Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 What a fantastic array of Hunters This is the only Hunter I've built so far and it was around the time I returned to the hobby a few years ago. Its a Revell 1/72 F.6 with the Pavla nose to make an F.3. Unfortunately the engine section resin got broken and I couldn't fathom the leading edges, so other than the nose its still an F.3. Pretty though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
