Col. Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Only four completed models for 2014 and all were based on the Revell 72nd scale Hawker Hunter F.6 kit. First off was the Swedish F.51, Then came the F.2 prototype with dummy Firestreaks, A PR.11 that featured in my father's log books was a labour of love, Final one for the year was a 263 squadron F.5 that occurred more by accident than design due to not consulting references often enough, Plenty unfinished stuff also litters the workbench so hopefully there will be a larger and more varied selection around this time next year. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 I do love the shape of the Hunter and you have done a lovely job on the ones you have built. top job Thank you. Got plenty more in the stash and plans to do a Peruvian F.52 via the Lesser Built Air Forces GB soon once the bench is clear. Hopefully I'll get a group shot in daylight tomorrow as some of the pictures I've posted are not that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mike Thanks Mike. Glad you like it. As for the Rhodi Hunter - ooh yes! Been reading plenty about them lately and found myself in possession of a part-built 32nd scale FGA.9 on Tuesday that you've suddenly given me an idea for.

Duncan B Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Very nice Hunters Col. You nearly managed to squeeze a Lightning out too didn't you? Looking forward to seeing some 1/48 Airfix Buccaneers this year. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Four superb Hunter,s Col,never built a Hunter since Airfix,s many years ago but picked up Revell,s 1/32 kit before Christmas so on the "to do" list for next year.I particularly like that Royal Navy scheme, It's a cracking kit Steve and Flightpath make a conversion set to cover most of the changes required to do a GA or PR.11. Look forward to seeing your one take shape. All nice builds Col and the Swedish one is definitely pick of the crop Cliff Cheers Cliff. Made a proper start to a Peruvian F.52 for some GB here so hopefully another one in the line-up before too long Very nice Hunters Col. You nearly managed to squeeze a Lightning out too didn't you? Looking forward to seeing some 1/48 Airfix Buccaneers this year. Duncan B Cheers Duncan. Ahem, aye, there happens to be a Lightning lurking on the workbench that needs spraying along with a Gnat in a similar situation and a harrier AV8-S half way through the decalling stage. Hopefully the 2015 yearbook will have more variety about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks lads. Great hunters Col. Still never built one, but don't know why, love them! If you can add any of the Revell kits to the stash I'd certainly recommend them Neil. Be great to see what you can do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
