Splash’s Mister Craft Hunter ***DNF***
Sorry for the late start, this will be a straight OOB (famous last words)
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Re: Splash’s Mister Craft Hunter
I have one of these somewhere in the stash so will be interested to see how it turns out!
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Sometimes it seems OOB only exists when you physically take the kit 'Out Of the Box'!!
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!!

Re: Splash’s Mister Craft Hunter
I think you’re right, I looked at fitting a metal bang seat but it’s to tall, this could be why the kits seat is so stumpy.MarkyM607 wrote:Sometimes it seems OOB only exists when you physically take the kit 'Out Of the Box'!!
I’m also tempted to paint it all over dark grey as a Fleet Air Arm bird.

Re: Splash’s Mister Craft Hunter
They have moulded the two halves so that you can see right through the intake and see out the other side so it needed some card to stop that ( bang goes my OOB)

Re: Splash’s Mister Craft Hunter
The simple design of this kit means construction is quick and surprising the part fit isn’t that bad.
The intakes need a bit more work so when the primer sets I will break out the miliput.

Re: Splash’s Mister Craft Hunter
Although not my favourite kit of the Hunter that looks very smart. A FRADU jobbie?

Re: Splash’s Mister Craft Hunter
The nose looks much improved but appear to be some nasty sink mark of the leading edge of the wings.

I think it’s a panel line they have put on top of a sink mark it makes it look like a slotted leading edge slatsJamesPerrin wrote:The nose looks much improved but appear to be some nasty sink mark of the leading edge of the wings.
Time to break out more filler.

Re: Splash’s Mister Craft Hunter
Good work, the wing join is much neater than the old Airfix one.

Re: Splash’s Mister Craft Hunter
Is this based on the 70s Frog kit?

Re: Splash’s Mister Craft Hunter
This kit is from ZTS Plastyk's original mould. It's not related to either of Frog's Hunter moulds.Eric Mc wrote:Is this based on the 70s Frog kit?

Re: Splash’s Mister Craft Hunter
I placed the kit parts against a Frog version and can confirm they are not the same, similar but not identical.

Re: Splash’s Mister Craft Hunter
Great to see another model in the GB, but I would have warned you off that ZTS Plastyk-based kit. Aaaargh!
Though an OOB effort would be far less pain (and you have already overtaken my model).
Cheers,
David
