BritJet Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Following the success of the Hunter, Hawker designed the supersonic P1121 which was substantially larger. The first aircraft was under construction when the project was cancelled but the forward fuselage has survived and is in storage at RAF Cosford. Despite the size the kit was easy to build and I finished it in a pale green scheme similar to the Hunter prototype. Thanks for looking.

Mr T Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Very nice, not a bad kit although the plastic on the bottom of fuselage was very thin on mine. Posted on here somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I like the look of that. Long been a kit I've "meant" to get but never did, with Whirlybird shutting up shop, unlikely now to happen, I'll just enjoy your's. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Wow, nice job Steve! I do enjoy seeing pre-Defence White Paper designs in model form, especially when they're so well done.

Nice one, Steve John It's a fair bit bigger than a Hunter, I should've done a photo of it next to one to show the size. 13 hours ago, stevehnz said: I like the look of that.

There's also the S+M kit if you can find one or if you're quick there's still time to get one from Whirlybird. 12 hours ago, k5054nz said: Wow, nice job Steve!

There are a couple of photos of the cockpit and mid-section here - https://www.key.aero/forum/historic-aviation/41766-raf-museum-cosford-hidden-treasures It would be good to see it on display with the other prototypes at Cosford.
