Habu12 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Many times when I build a subject I gain a new respect for its shape. And I thought I couldn’t appreciate the beautiful lines of the Hunter. But wow, this is just such a gorgeous jet! Definitely one of the best of all time. Anyway, I’m coming up with a new rating system for kits. It’ll be based on Doug Demuro’s “Doug Score”, if any of you are YouTube car guys. But it’s a dual block, five category system, of 100 points. Sounds complicated, I know. I’ll elaborate more later since I’ve nailed down all the categories 😆 but general impressions are the usual for new Airfix kits, very good fit, some good detail, but could use a bit more. Not that it matters much in the cockpit, as it’s black anyway, so you done much past the seat top. No major fit issues. 54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 What a pretty jet. It's always been one of favourites and you've done it proud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Love this, these Airfix Hunters are looking superb! Think I might have to save up. And for 56 sqn decals. So many options! I like the weathering on this too, nice stains and darker lines, what did you use? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britman Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Very nice indeed. If you don`t mind me pointing out that the rear edge of the canopy should be clear . Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Very smart Hunter. Ditto Britman - no frame at the rear of the canopy. Cheers Malcolm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josip Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I've seen many jet fighters in the air, yet none came close to Hunter when it came to straight flying. It flyes in a perfect straight line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchen Modeller Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Very nice - love the shading you achieved on the camo - really like the underside also - It's a lovely shape of a jet, you're quite correct. Well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloudman1961 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Lovely piece of work. I’m about to start work on a Revell 1/72 hunter. I’d be interested to know what colours you used on the inside of the air intakes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham Hands Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) Habu12 you have paid a fine tribute to the beauty of the Hunter. Lovely build. I remember being a kid and building the black plastic 1/72 hunter. (I think it was Revell.) I recall not knowing the aircraft but when it was built I thought it was just beautiful. (The plane, not my modeling. ;)) Earlier today I was looking at my near complete 1/32 Fg-9 in Iraqi colours. It is so close to completion... I need to find the undercarriage. Your Hunter is just lovely. Thanks for posting. Edited February 23, 2019 by Ham Hands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 This looks great and is tempting me to buy this kit. Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
