Hawker Hunter F6 1/48 Academy


Recommended Posts

Hawker Hunter F6 56 Squadron 1960

Built for the 60s NATO vs Warsaw pact GB

It is the Academy 1/48 kit built OOB except for the SBS cockpit set as the kit one is totally wrong in size and scale etc. and it also has a metal pitot tube of an F6 Lightning as the kit plastic one was way too flimsy. Paints are Tamiya with MR Super clear coats, gloss for decalling then a satin mist to dull it down a bit with the gloss still showing as they would have been fairly clean and shiny.

Thanks for all the positive replies guys

I'm fairly happy with how it turned out, it's a lovely kit apart from the well documented cockpit scale issues, hopefully the Airfix one will be just as good :)

I think it's nice to see something other than a Lightning or Tornado in Firebird markings for a change as the colours set it off quite nicely

 

Thanks
