After a bit of a hiatus from modelling for a few months I decided to try something a bit different from the norm. I have had the kit for a number of years and after the Phantom was built for AMW, I decided to have a bit of a break and build something for me.

The conversion itself seemed pretty daunting but after dry fitting, sanding, more dry fitting and even more sanding/dry fitting the cockpit and seats slotted in.

a bit of blending was required to join the conversion to the donor kit, and minor re-scribing was required.

I do intend to add blanking plates as I made a bit of a hash of the intakes, weapons and pylons need to be added and the front vac-formed windscreen needs to be sorted out. other than that I think it is there...

Gorgeous ! Who makes the conversion kit?

Hi James

Superb work there, mate

I have never seen a Hunter with that nose profile before

Well done and best regards

Patrick

The conversion is made by Fisher Pattern in the states. First rate resin and easy ish to build. I still have their T7 to build too but have to complete this first. More to follow as and when.

Very nice indeed. Some great detail. Well done James. Thanks for sharing

Cheers

That's me being Mr. Thicko as usual then

Thanks for the info
