Hello fellow
modelers!
This is my 1/48
scale Hawker Hunter from Korean manufacturer Academy.
As this kit is not
"fresh from this year", I made some improvements. The very basic
cockpit, was replaced by a Aires resin kit, which, incredibly fit perfectly with
the kit fuselage (my previous experiences with Aires cockpit adjustment, were,
how can I say properly? Challenging my self control!).
Moreover the
kit wheels were profitably replaced by resin wheels from Ukrainian manufacturer RES KIT.
It was a real issue
for me to choose a decoration for my Hunter, considering that, during her long
career this aircraft wore lots of very exotic and interesting camouflage.
In the end, I've
chose
an aircaft from Rhodezian Royal Air Force in 1967, from an Xtradecal sheet.
Indeed I was seduced
by the fact that, her camouflage scheme was the same as a Hawker Hurricane
from the battle of Britain.
A familly saga from
my point of view!
