Me's got to have my Airfix 1/48 Hunter F.6 fix right away. Yeh, me has... Cheers, Unc2 Looks like he pre-ordered directly from Hornby in the UK. I did the same.

Thanks a lot for the info, Mr Tsoukalos! Could we Argies possibly be allowed to pre-order from Hornby in the UK as well? Any link to it?

No need to preorder - its now in stock and available to purchase from the Airfix (Hornby) online shop https://www.airfix.com/uk-en/hawker-hunter-f6-1-48.html - but postage to Argentina costs more than the kit... ouch!

Order 7 and the postage is free 🙂 I was just making the point (at £45) postage is pretty expensive to some parts.

baldeagle Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 This is probably the wrong place for this entry,but my attempts to create a new topic met with failure.I have been most impressed by the new Hunter F6 kit,only feeling the need to reduce the height of the panels below the intake area.However,my 4+ reference shows a photograph of a Naca intake under the forward end of a "Sabrina"link collector. Only one of my other references confirm this feature.Several photographs,plus a drawing,show F6 aircraft with the intakes,in "Britain's Military Aircraft in Colour"by Martin Derry.Are there any "Hunter"experts who can cast some light?Perhaps a modification was introduced on the F6.It seems that these intakes were not always present.

But '190 is still a Sapphire engined F.5. Airfix also depict this in Suez markings, again confirming the F.5 status. Never mind, the -4 and -5 were almost identical but I believe one or two engine vents etc. were different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly on the Dutch F.6 still flying, there is a NACA scoop at the front of booth link collector bulges, I think they are common on F.6s and F.58s aswel.

The Academy kit has a somewhat curved lower windscreen/canopy - to - fuselage line whereas it should be a straight line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 @Uncle Uncool You probably already know but there is an Airfix distributor in Buenos Aires? https://dukelhobbies.com.ar/ Do they have Hawkers finest in stock yet? Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
