Botan Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Looks like re-release of Revell's Hawker Hunter brings more decals to market, tis time from company HI-Decal line. From Hannats: Quote Hi Decal HD72059 Hawker Hunter F.6/FGA.9/FR.10 "Desert birds of prey" with markings for: 2 x Iraq - including a double Vautour killer 2 x Jordan - two Mirage killers 2 x Oman in two different grey schemes 2 x Somalia 2 x Chile in desert and blue grey schemes And same in 1/48 scale - HD48029 Just in case if Xtradecals have not enough foreign schemes. ---------------------------------- update: Hi Folks, Just to make the things a bit more precise, the upcoming sheets will include markings for the following Hunters: F.6 - Iraq ('60), FGA.9 - Iraq - double Vautour killer ('67), F.6 - Jordan - Mirage killer ('66), F.6 with recce nose - Jordan - double Mirage killer ('67), FGA.9 - Oman with dark grey uppersurface camo ('79), FR.10 - Oman with dark grey/grey camo and mission markings from Dhofar conflict ('79), FGA.9 - Somalia (with FR.10 option) ('83), FGA.9 - Chile in desert scheme ('75), FGA.9 - Chile in Ghost grey camo ('75), Most of these schemes were never covered previously in decal form, or, if covered, then -unfortunately- with many errors. We have also concentrated on schemes not covered by Xtradecals in their "Hunters in international service" sheets.

Anyway, doesn't (6) refers to number of countries? On Hannats it's 6 x 2 = 12 schemes on both sheets. 22 minutes ago, Fulcrum@ said: Vert good news for exotic fan !

In fact Hannats list 5 x 2 schemes so 10, but HI-Decals on their site put such description : Quote (6) Iraq, Jordan, Oman, Somalia, Chile Which means 6 schemas in total for 5 countries, so only one get two schemes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware Xtradecal don't do ANY foreign Hunters, at least not in 1/48, so this set will be very welcome indeed instead of the boring ones in the forthcoming Airfix kit.

All foreing Hawker Hunters have already been available on 1/48 decal sheets (but not Qatar) but these decal sheets are no longer available for decades. Belgium Hunters are already well covered by Daco Decals, I bet that Netherland KLU Hunters will be covered by Dutch Decals and Switzerland Hunters will be covered by Matterhotn Circle.

SharkOwl Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) Thank you for these informations Diego. For your future projects for Hunters Decals at 1/48 scale, be informed that I do not remember that Hawker Hunters from Qatar and Kenya have been covered in decal form in the past. The same situation apply with Hawker Hunters of Rhodesia with the Green/White/Lion Roundel and of Zimbabwe with the Gold/Black fin national marking. Rhodesian Hunters with the Blue/White/Red/Lance roundel have been covered in the past but should certainly be welcome back for the future.

Col. Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 If you are thinking of a further expost Hunters sheet may I suggest the Peruvian Air Force as a potential option Diego? The full tail flag and nose markings found on the display team birds makes for a colourful machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
