Hawker Hunter STGB III - now at 21, just 4 to go!

[81-er]

It would seem that the last Hunter GB was all the way back in 2016, and given Airfix has released their lovely 1/48 Hunter since then and Revell have just announced a 1/32 T7, it seems like we’re well overdue for another.

 

Any operational Hunter is eligible, regardless of seats/operator (including civil)/scale etc, as are any prototypes. The only real exclusion is no WIFFs.

 

Any takers?

Yes!  and I've never built a Hunter in a GB before.

About the only aircraft I haven't.

[81-er]

Welcome aboard, Tim  I've never actually built one myself, but I have a few in the stash

Me please … I have a Revell kit with Saudi markings that was supposed to be built in the Desert group build a couple of years ago. 

[81-er]

Ooh, that sounds superb, Dennis!

Hi James, I reckon it's about time I embraced the jet age and what better subject? Please count me in!

 

Cheers, 

Mark

Ooh, yes, plenty kits in the stash that require attention.

[zebra]

Count me in. Only one Hunter in the stash (which is shameful - I should see about fixing that) and it's earmarked for a T.8M conversion.

[Richard Humm]

I've got a few Hunters in several scales. I'm in.

[81-er]

Welcome aboard, gents, some good options there

[modelling minion]

I have an Airfix 1/48 F.6 in the stash so you can add my name to the list James.

[81-er]

Absolutely mate, it's great to have you with us

Thanks mate, now I just need to think about which markings to finish it in!

[81-er]

Is there a wrong answer?

Welcome, Steve

[Wez]

Yes please!  Always liked the Billy Bunter.

Welcome, Wez

[DeepSea]

Please stick me down for this, will be a 1/32 one - although I'm not sure if it'll be a Revell or an Echelon one.

[81-er]

Welcome

I would be up for this.  I have a few 72nd scale kits in the stash and a 32nd scale one that needs a new home.

 

Plus I had an uncle who modified the wings on the older marks to add the dogtooth leading edge.  Here is a pic of him by the bird at the Norwich Museum from my visit back in 2013.

I’d like in.  I’ve a half dozen 1/32 hunters in the stash so I’d like to whittle that down to size a bit. 
Beautiful plane the Hunter. Classic 

[81-er]

Welcome, gents  That's a great bit of history about your uncle, @philp, it's nice to have a connection to a subject

 

James

[Bbdave]

I'd be up for this I have a revell kit that I'd like to do in sqn markings that my dad worked on which I think was 228/229 ocu at chivenor in 56 and whichever sqn was in Aden in 58.

[81-er]
