Hawker Hunter Mk58 Airfix 1/48

[Luca Pero]

Oh Wow!

 

first of all thanks to everyone for the nice words. I didn't expect such a warm welcome. There are Hunter models that I have taken as a reference on this site, from 32 to 48 scale. the best Hawker Hunter models are inside this forum , so, thank you also for that!

And this is the result after almost 1 year of work. In detail I modified and/or self build:

- Ejection seat

- antennas

- rivets

- air vents

- position lights

- landing light

- instruments panel to make it similar to the Mk58 (radar for example)

- inspection doors

- tanks

- flaps

- wing pylons

- wing tips

- enlarged "Sabrinas"

- windshield jettison handle

- gear bay doors

... and many other small things

 

some bonus pictures..
