Hawker P1067 Hunter prototype

[BritJet]

A nice easy conversion from the old Airfix Hunter F6, I had to remove the wing dog-tooth, fair over where the gun pack goes and add a braking parachute fairing to the base of the fin. The rear of the canopy is a bit shorter than normal.

 

Finished off with home made decals.

 

 

Thanks for looking.

That's a great looking Hunter.

Really nice Hunter and she looks good in the green and big national rounders. 
What did you decide to use for the colour?  I think I’ve heard there is some controversy as to the shade of green but yours looks and feels right to me.

I spent a long time looking at different shades of light green as I really didn't want to do a mix knowing I would need enough to do all the Hawker jets in the same colour. Eventually I tried Gunze H31 White Green which looked about right. Part of the problem is the real aircraft look a different shade in every photo so it's a best guess!
