Robin: I realize that you probably meant you were surprise that no-one here had taken up the challenge in polystyrene. Nonetheless, here's my pixel take on a tandem 2-seat Hunter:

Looks like an Alpha Jet cockpit but with a different tail. At first I thought maybe BAE Hawk but not so much. I have a couple Hawks in the stash I just need a Hunter. Substituting a Hawk for an Alpha Jet should work.

Mr GTX is right. That's why he is administrator ;) :smiley:

Tail fin has been widened. you can begin with alphajet's and add a scratch built triangle section in leading adge. Nose cone must be widened too, I think.

BTW: Have you see Hunter 2000 by Zero-Sen?  :icon_alabanza: :icon_alabanza: https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=11124.msg967327#msg967327

It has been suggested elsewhere (stuffed if I can remember specifically where, I just hope it wasn't here) that the SAAB JAS 39 Gripen is the spiritual successor to the Hunter.  Similar size, weight etc. with the extra performance you would expect from modern engine, aerodynamics and avionics.

I did mention it after I had compared the two Revell kits of them and was amazed at how close they were.  That was after I had read HS had loaned a bunch of the design/drafting staff to SAAB in the RW.

Nice! The Hunter would also look great in the red/brown 'Lagarto' scheme  :smiley:

Not exactly a "what-if", but a demonstration (?) if where the term "Sabrinas" came about for the shell casing collectors.
