Popular Post mathy Posted September 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hi all, here some pics of my new built Airfix Hunter F.6 in 1:48. Add some Eduard PE`s, pitot by Master and Xtradecals for a No 12 Sqn Hunter. Replaced the whole landing gear with those from the old Academy kit. From the same one I used the 4 fuel tanks. 99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 That's incredible! It looks real. Possibly the most realistic painting and finish I've seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEZ Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) As always a beautifully finished model. Always thought the Hunter looked great in the wraparound grey and green camouflage. Just one point, that particular mark of Hunter, the F.6, was restricted to carrying the smaller 100 gallon tanks. The 230 gallon tanks were carried by the later FGA.9. Although some F.6s converted to the F.6A could carry the bigger tanks. Regards Andrew Edited September 9, 2019 by TEZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britman Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Very nice although I am confused as to why the undercarriage exchange. I was of the Impression that the Academy main wheels were undersize, indeed the Aeroclub replacements that I used in my Academy were bigger.

Spitfire31 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Without a doubt, one of the most convincing Hunters I've ever seen. Fabulous modelling! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booty003 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 That is seriously impressive. Such a realistic finish, the shading and weathered look of the paintwork is stunning. Very nice buddy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruskin Air Services Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I agree with lord riot, that is one very realistic paint finish. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
