F-32 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Very nicely done, beginning to look really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gishuk Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Made a start on the decals. The kits roundels had some white border printing error going on so I got some Xtradecal roundels to replace them. The Fisher decals from the conversion set are fantastic though, probably the best decals ive ever used. Unfortunately they do not include the warning triangles and rescue arrow which are very distinctive on the nose of this scheme, and the kit ones are not at all the same. Going to have to raid the spare decals box and see if I can get something close. Apart from that I just need to put all the stencils on. Tried a couple to see how they go on, and the kit decals seem to sit down nicely with no flash so it should be straightforward, if a little tedious to get that done. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FZ6 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 This is looking really good I plan to build another Hunter as a FRADU T.8C when I've finished my F.6. I almost regret not purchasing this conversion as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrison90 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 This goes to prove that the Hunter looks good no matter what. Excellent build. Cheers, Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Ooh, yummy. That airframe appears in my logbook! (I held over with 899 in 1985 while waiting for my Bullfrog course to start. Alas, a coursemate of mine was killed in a Harrier T4 crash while were there, along with Andy George, the Squadron MTP... which kind of took the gloss off it. But even so I am chuffed to have ANY Hunter in my past!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 This looks better and better every time I look at it,...the EDSG/White scheme looks stunning, but I must admit to having a slight personal preferrence for overall gloss grey on RN Hunters,.....wasn`t it Dark Sea Grey? What do I know eh,.........I`d love to see this one for real when it is finished as it must look fabulous and so very big? Ooh, yummy.That airframe appears in my logbook! (I held over with 899 in 1985 while waiting for my Bullfrog course to start. Alas, a coursemate of mine was killed in a Harrier T4 crash while were there, along with Andy George, the Squadron MTP... which kind of took the gloss off it. But even so I am chuffed to have ANY Hunter in my past!) Was that the light grey coloured T.4 with the RAF camouflaged wings? It is tragic when friends are killed in training.

gishuk Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Cheers guys. The gloss grey does look good as well, but Hunters one of those aircraft that looks good in anything really. Its pretty sizeable, i was kinda surprised its not far off Phantom size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Tony If I recall right, it was a standard T4 with normal RN grey, but I may be wrong. ZB606, crashed 7 Feb 1985, both occupants killed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
