Popular Post Neil Posted April 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2022 There is no In-Progress build for this one, and as they say, out-of-the-box. Really nice little kit, no extra details, and using the kit decals. Revell 1/72, Hawker Hunter F.Mk.6, Fighter Combat School, Central Flying Establishment, RAF West Raynham, Norfolk, UK, 1961. (In my neck of the woods, so reasonably local to me). 77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberraman Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 A cracking build and finish. The Revell Hunter in 1/72 is one of their best IMHO. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Beautifully turned out Hunter. 5 hours ago, Neil said: (In my neck of the woods, so reasonably local to me). I was in the ATC there (quite some time ago). I can remember Hunters still being there but they were right at the end of their time .Happy times.

jean Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Beautiful!!! This is a kit I have never been able to obtain, and when I see what you achieved with yours, I will keep trying. Scrumptious results! JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptmvarsityfan Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 A very nice rendition! Agreed, a classic kit from Revell, just a pity they never released more variants. Cheers, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Dyck Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Wonderful rendition of the Hunter. Especially like the colors, they turned out very realistic. Wich brand did you use, if I may ask? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britman Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) Again I agree with all the above and I would like to make one or two sometime. As a note , check the rear edge of the hood. It should be clear. Keith Edited April 5, 2022 by Britman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I like it. I NEED to build the one I have in the “stash”. Especially after seeing this one here. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Seen this on a decent monitor now, was on phone when I saw it originally. It is a beauty, I can but hope that mine will come out as well when I get to them. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thommo Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) Yeah, I really like that! BTW we've been to Norfolk - our daughter did a gap year at the Gresham School in Holt. Great little village & a local took me fly-fishing on the Wensum River where I bagged a cracking brown trout.

Samuraiwarrior Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 A wonderful build and paint job. Excellent OOB, just goes to show what you can achieve with a good basic kit and a skilled modeller. Envious of the result. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wich brand did you use, if I may ask? Andy For the upper surfaces I used Xtracolour enamel (thinned with cellulose thinners, helps reduce the drying time) and the underside is Alclad Aluminium. The faint panel line wash is Paynes Grey oil-colour, thinned with White Spirit, and the excess removed with a clean cloth and blending in with a perfectly dry flat brush. 👍 On 4/6/2022 at 5:29 AM, thommo said: Yeah, I really like that!

Gresham is very highly regarded, and Holt is a really nice place, I was over there a couple of weeks ago actually! In fact anywhere in and around that part of North Norfolk is rather nice, lovely part of the County, very popular region. Thanks for all of the comments everybody, they are much appreciated. I have made my fair share of stuff packed full of extra aftermarket 'this-that-and-the-other' over the years, but it made a refreshing change to build something with absolutely no modifications to the basic kit, or aftermarket decals etc, although it does help to have a reasonably good kit to start with. It was a pleasure to build, and being an almost 'local' based aircraft made it all the more of an interest to me. Thanks again everyone! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
