Airfix Hunter F.Mk.6 in RAF 1938 camouflage and markings.
« on: July 01, 2014, 12:45:03 AM »
I had some leftover decals from my Airfix Hurricane and an old Airfix Hunter. This "What-if?" build is based on this 111 Squadron Hurricane  which participated in the "Fete de l'Air" at Villacoublai, France, during the Bastille Day celebrations on 9 July, 1938. This Hunter participated in the 25th anniversary of the same celebration in 1953, marked as its predecessor. Coincidently the 50+ year-old model has 111 Squadron as the kit decals.



I added nose weight, a tailpipe, and blanking plates in the intakes and wheel wells. The rest is OOB. I used the Hurricane decals and brush-painted the thing with Humbrol, Testors, Floquil, and Citadel paints.



Waste not, want not!



Adios, Larry.

Fine looking finish and to me, paint scheme looks "normal" for Hunter :)

Brilliant way to finish off an old Hunter, very well done!! 8)
On the ATF we had a thread for these trial RAF 111 Sqn. markings, assigning serials and Sqn. codes to most of the Hurri's that went to the Bastille Day celebrations at Villacoublay! :D

Great job, the Hunter looks like it was made for those markings.
