PattheCat Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Hello Paul. I'm up for this one. Not sure of my choice yet, but most probably with Hasegawa's 1/48 MC202 Folgore. Else, would an Israeli AF plane with the blue-grey/brown camo be approved (Airfix 1/48 P-51D, if I can source the appropriate decals from inside EU to avoid these costing three times more due to import fees)? Would you please count me in? Thanks. A nice day to you. Pat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Great to have you want to take part in the GB Pat, I am sure Paul will add you to the list very soon but as your prospective co-host I though I would welcome you. Both of your choices are excellent and fit the bill perfectly, a Macchi 202 would be great as they wore some very nice desert based schemes and an Israeli P-51 in the blue/brown scheme would look great and the scheme was designed for use in a desert environment. 🇺🇦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten you were co-hosting. I still have taken no decision, really. I am rounding up which kits I already have in the stash and googling around for schemes and decals. For exemple I've also got an Airfix P-40 B/C that would do for a 112 Sqn Tomahawk (but no appropriate decals). The Folgore came on top of the list as one of the in-box options is a machine operating in Libya during 1942 (with their most usual desert camo of green blotches over sand). Such a theme gives so many interesting options ..... It could also be that I'll find something I fancy some more and will buy a new kit. With my poor memory I first have not to forget to vote in due time Thanks for your welcome and answer. Stay well. Pat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisj2003 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Got the kit, just arrived last night from PlazaJapan, 9 days by Japan post, didn't pre-order. Bought another FineMolds F-4 as well because the postage difference was tiny.😀 I do like these Iranian colours, the tan should be more of a yellow than the boxart suggests? Just need to get through the bunfight now and be scheduled at a different time from other GBs I want to enter. Chris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed we get through the bunfight, I have a feeling its going to be a particularly bloody affair this year and that we are going to need every vote we can get. 🇺🇦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Anyone know which countries flew F.6 Hunters in desert schemes ? I had hoped Jordan as I had decals but seems like they didn't. I have a Revell 1/72 Hunter F.6 I’d love to build but if no Desert schemes I have plenty of other options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Chris pointed out Oman used them in a desert scheme and so did Saudi Arabia and the UAE/ Abu Dhabi, I will have a look Dennis but I think all the other operators used the grey/green other than Rhodesia's green/brown. You can add Qatar, Kuwait and Somalia as well as potentially Chile. 🇺🇦 Edited September 29, 2022 by modelling minion 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this website: https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/451750-official-camouflage-if-they-take-out-the-f6-hunter/ the Chilean Air Force used desert camouflaged Hunter Mk 71s (not sure if that is an F6 variant) which appears to be one of the “stones” and dark earth with azure (?) blue undersides - very colourful. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Pulfrew Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Just been looking for something else in the decal store and realised that there are 4 desert Hunters on this set: Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar and Abu Dhabi. Sadly the Chilean decals are for a grey-green jet, not the desert one. I’ve used the Kenyan, Omani and Rhodesian decals, so PM me if you’d like any of the desert ones; I’m unlikely to use those. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P/M inbound Roland. Im not exactly sure on the specs. Ive read the FGA.9’s were upgraded/re-built Mk.6’s ? I'm not sure thats accurate as Im not really familiar with the Hunter (shameful I know). Any help from anyone on that would also be gratefully received. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any F.6 upgraded to FGA.9 standard were known as F.6A due to minor differences. One clue was the position of a small aerial that can be found either on the nose ahead of the windscreen or mounted on a small platform to on side of the spine to identify which type any individual airframe is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Pulfrew Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 According to this book: The Saudi Hunters comprised a couple of T7s and 4 F6s. Looking at the pictures, they appear to be standard RAF F6s. We also missed Somali Air Force as a desert camouflaged Hunter operator. All of Arab and the Somali jets appear to be light stone, dark earth and azure blue. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks that helps, I have this 1/72 Revell kit. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-04350-hawker-hunter-fmk6--103670# I will find and do an F.9 as an RAF machine.
