A place for our military aviation modellers to show their stuff. It may not be civil but it still has a home here

Finished last night - 1/32 Hawker Hunter FGA-9

Postby AndrewDoppel » Mon Nov 03, 2014 9:03 pm

This is my just finished Revell Hawker Hunter FGA-9 finished in the same scheme as Eric's twin tub of 1417 Flight, Khormaksar, Aden (circa Jan 1966). the combined fuselage markings denote the merging of 43 and 8 squadrons. The kit roundels were crap and obliterated in water as did the original squadron markings so the replacement main decals are from AeroMaster. The resin bang seat was a late minute addition courtesy of Uncle Les who just happened to have them at the last Melbourne IPMS meet and make a great addition to the basic kit which goes together well and is well detailed. I hope you like it. :D

Really beautiful work Andrew!!!!
You 1:32 military aircraft builders create some pretty impressive models!!
And how pretty is the Hunter......at some stage I wanna do the civvie all-yellow Shell Hunter that was operated by Thunder City in South Africa before they shut down.
Thanks for posting this magnificent model, A/CAM is really lucky to count amongst it's members some truly world-class model builders.

Have to admit, I have a soft spot for the Hunter. Great work, Andrew!
Pretending to do it TAC style with the big boys since 1987
Also, we don't need no steenkin' VLATs!

What's not to love about the Hunter - absolutely nothing!

Beautiful work Andrew. The resin bang seat really sets it off.

Bravo!
