The Unofficial Airfix Modellers' Forum

This is a single-type GB of the Hawker Hunter - any kit, any scale, any variant, any markings. Derivatives and unbuilt projects are allowed as long as they have provenance. What-if's are ok too as long as there is precedent in real life re air forces that planned / looked into purchasing Hunters.

This GB started from threads here.

The GB runs from February 1st to March 18th; your GBL is Gregers who will fill in any other info.

Although I'm sure I signed up for this one, I have a operation planned for the 31st January, will probably be out of it for a few days at least so I'll try and fit this one in when things improve. (If all goes to plan with the Op).

Good luck with the op.

Thanks mate.

In with a brand new Mark 1 1/144 Hunter T7

I’m in with a MisterCraft Hunter, I think it’s based on the old Frog kit.

Regards Splash

I am of course in with a Matchbox Hunter T7. 79sqn RAF Brawdy.
If I can get my paws on an Airfix MK9 there may be another build too. That will be a chpp and change job.

All the best.

Greg

I've just realised all my Hunter models may be started, unless I've still got the legend that is the Matchbox T.7/F.6!!

Not sure about that, Splash. I think I read it's the ZTS Plastyk original mould. Paul will know.

You could be right, for a cheap kit it looks OK.

The Plastyk kit is not related to the Frog kit in any way.

Mistercraft and plastyk are indeed the same kit and as stated. Not related to yhe Frog/Novo one.

All the best.

Greg.

Is it possible to join in with a Revell 1/72 F.6? Just had some paint slapped on some interior bits that are still on the sprues

I'd like to join if I may, I've choice of kits, both Revell releases and the Airfix FGA.9 I've got the Xtradecal sheet for foreign users so something different to chose from.

Welcome aboard guys. Looking forward to following your builds.

All the best

Greg
