Properjob56 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 You may have noticed that there have been a number of threads recently about the Swift, specifically the Airfix 1/72 version. Some have compared it to its contemporary the Hawker Hunter. It occurred to me that I have made kits of both in the past few weeks so, as a bit of fun, I've posed them together by way of comparison (and it comes as a surprise to me to see just how big the Swift was...or was it just further away?🤔) Anyhoo, here are the pictures and you will see from the hashtag that I intend this to be the first of a series as I have other comparisons in mind that might be interesting....or not. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 My vote is for the Hunter as it is a more elegant and refined airframe. Thanks for the photo comparison!!!!! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatFlyHalf Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Nice modelling ! I find it amazing how designers made such different decisions on how to encase the Avon engine in the fuselage of their aircraft. FFH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
