Has anyone tried the Odds&Ordnance Hunter T7 ?

It's cheaper than the PJ one but is it accurate ?

but is it accurate ?

In a word - no.

The nose is too wide making it look 'fat' when viewed from above. It looks very much like the shape of the old Matchbox T.7 nose. Bear in mind that the radome on a real T.7 is circular - the radome on the Matchbox kit and, it would appear on the Odds and Ordnance version, is oval as a result of the fat nose.

Also the seats supplied are the wrong mark, looking more like Mk.3H seats rather than the correct Mk.4H, and the braking parachute housing is the wrong shape with it's upper surface appearing far too straight and not bulged enough.

This conversion would, no doubt, produce a nice representation of a T.7 when used with the Revell kit, but not an especially accurate one IMO.
