Re: Gregs Hunter.
Nice work on that notorious nose!
I converted the Matchbox kit, too, but was lucky to have the Aeroclub nose correction, though there is equally as much work transplanting that!
Cheers,
David

Re: Gregs Hunter.
Cheers for the cudos guys. Next job is some primer and final sanding. Pics to follow when that is done.

Re: Gregs Hunter.
A quick update and an apology. I have had a busy week and had no time spare for model making and very little to go on the forum. Seeing as I planned on going to the Huddersfield show but now can't go I did abit on the Hunter. I gave it a coat of grey and filled the last few blemishes. Sanded them and a last filler and sanding session and that's that for the fuselage. Wings are under way and when they are done I will sort the cockpit interior and assemble it.
All the best

Re: Gregs Hunter.
Looking good, and I remember attempting that biz-jet conversion many many moons ago.

Re: Gregs Hunter.
Looking good. Where did you find the Huntsman conversion?

Re: Gregs Hunter.
I have had that conversion for many years. Can't remember exactly but I either got it from someone on thr forum or at a model show. Either wau it was second hand and missing the fin. That's why I had to cut the fin from the Airfix Hunter.
Not sure who manufactured it. I will look at the instructions later and let you know.
All the best.

Re: Gregs Hunter.
The instructions for the Huntsman say it is a 'spot on' production. Dated 2001.

Re: Gregs Hunter.
Great work Greg, I now see why you wanted that extra Hunter.
Re: Gregs Hunter.
Am bringing this one in just under the wire. Hunter T7. RAF Brawdy , South Wales circa 1979-80.
I admit I rushed this at the end, and it shows. But though it will probably never grace a didplay table it is one less in the stash.
Many thanks for following this build and for the encouragement. The Huntsman will be finidhed. Probsbly in my workbench thread.
All the best.

Well done. Even as a trainer the Hunter looks great.
