The Sapphire-powered F.5, which entered service a month before the F.5, equipped 263, 257, 1, 34 and 41 Squadrons of Fighter Command for domestic air defense, since they only had the capability of carrying two underwing tanks and no underwing ordnance.Production finally centered on the Avon-powered Hunter with the F.6, which came into operational service beginning in 1955.RAF Canberra and Valiant bombers were based on Cyprus for strikes against Egypt during the Anglo-French intervention in Egypt following nationalization of the Suez Canal; it marked Britain’s last attempt to act as an imperial power. Glad if I can add to the facts bank. All three are camouflaged on their upper surfaces, with the lower surfaces in “High Speed Silver,” an aluminum paint. The next 1/48 kit would not appear until the mid 1980s, when John Adams of Aeroclub released an F.6, FGA.9 and T.7 as vacuformed kits. As with all modern CAD designed kits, parts fit is precise and you are well-advised to be certain you clean off all sprue nibs after you cut a part off the sprues.I chose to use the parts for the ejection seat that included molded-on seatbelts. The seat comes in two versions, one with and one without seatbelts. Airfix Hawker Hunter F.6 1:48 – build review ‘Speed Build” Full Review with Geoff Coughlin. Spread over ten pages, construction looks to be reasonably simple, but with some interesting design choices. Where the company had a 30 year run of success with all previous designs, it seemed to lose its footing with the Hunter.
I used the first method. Almost all the British and Dutch aircraft I have seen in period pictures look pretty clean and well maintained. But there is still something that could be done to make it a bit more interesting. Take a look now… VIDEO REVIEW . The kit has been critiqued in the modelling press for being a little simplified for a 48 scale kit, and certainly some of that criticism has merit. Once painted, I attached the horizontal stabilizers and the speed brake.The kit decals when on without problem.
Thanks to Airfix for supplying our review sample – get this impressive kit now at Airfix Kit Ref: A09185 . Three marking options from two different countries, optional parts for open or …
Needless to say Tom, this is another beauty from your stable. I chose the open canopy option for this kit.I painted the upper surface camouflage, using Tamiya XF-66 for the Sea Grey used in post-war RAF camouflage, and Gunze-Sangyo Mr. Color “Olive Drab 1″ for the postwar Dark Green. Thanks for the review!Hi Paul. I attached the landing gear per the instruction sheet, and then attached the underwing drop tanks.Airfix’s Hunter series is among their best. To improve on this you really need metal etched and/or resin parts. The Hunter appeared in the US as a plastic kit some 60 years ago, with a release by Lindberg that could, with a lot of putty, sanding, and a fair bit of scratchbuilding talent, be turned into a fair approximation of the airplane. So I am afraid I will have to do some alterations to the kit and build it as a Lebanese FGA.70 Cheers! That’s where I love to see a lot of detailing. Thanks for the walkaround too!

Interestingly many colour palettes and model companies like Revell have the scheme depicting yellow tailplanes to go with the striking … The flaps could be lowered if I see it right thogh I have no notion how the inner details (of the flaps and wings) are made. If a modeler chooses to open the canopy, a resin MB Mk.2 seat would look good.This kit has separate pieces for the outer wing leading edge to give the “straight” swept wing of the early Hunters. Hot on the heels of their Blenheim Mk.IF (reviewed here), Airfix just released another classic British aircraft – and arguably one of the most beautiful jet fighters ever designed.
