KursadA Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 CD48152 will be a 1/48 sheet for the new Airfix Hunter F.6 kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tony.t Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Still rate the 1/32 Revell as the best Hunter, but the new era Airfix 1/48 Hunter F.6 looks to be a great kit. Aerocraft are making a 1/48 T.7 (side by side two seater) conversion for it. FGA.9/Mk.58 is bound to follow. Personally prefer the later variants in the more outlandish schemes, like Jon Whaley's flamboyant Meteor and the Swiss job with the newspaper font all over it, called something like the Papyrus Hunter. Arab ones in shades of sand and coffee are also quite cool, as the Swedish Acro Hunter, Fleet Air Arm GA.11 - huge amount of options really. Don't know what Xtradecal are up to on this.

aircal62 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Might I suggest Raseberry Ripple of the Empire Test Pilots School Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Do you think you could squeeze in ATAC markings? Edited December 23, 2018 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Tried a few years back to have Kursad make decals for the Draken International A-4's, and he was met with lawyers instantly. So although I too would like to see this, be aware that copyright issues may be the achilles heal for ATAC and other markings. 😟 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 How about this for an interesting scheme? https://www.flickr.com/photos/20998733@N04/43342017882 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Niels Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Believe me, I would be first in line if Kursad releases a sheet with private aggressor markings like ATAC, Draken etc, but not if this causes major legal issues for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glevass21 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Please try not to forget these Hawker Hunters International Operators : Kuwait, Qatar and Abu Dhabi. 1. Qatar Hunters have never been covered on a decal sheet at 1/48 scale. 2. Decals for Hunters of Kuwait from the first version of the Academy Kit released 20 years ago are now very difficult to find. 3. Abu Dhabi Hunters have been produced on an ADS decal sheet in the far past but are now impossible to find. 😎 SharkOwl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Another vote for a GA.11, since they’ve released an F.4 kit, too. Extra Dark Sea Grey over white, please! Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ben But as the recently released Hunter F.4/F.5 kit already includes parts for a GA.11, I think it's a fair bet to say that Airfix will release a separate RN boxing. And as the GA.11 colour schemes are quite limited, perhaps it would be hazardous for Caracal to cover that variant ? And I'm sure XtraDecal/Hannants already have some artwork ready for it...

MB You're probably right, but it would be nice to have Caracal-quality markings for it. Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
