Airfix Hawker Hunter F.6 1:48

Final additions

The canopy and front windscreen fit perfectly and I just left the main canopy to one side while the seat is painted up and dropped into place.

That port wing probe didn’t even get broken off – not sure how I managed that!

Ejection seat

This was the final addition. As you can see I have used the seat with straps moulded in situ, although Airfix does provide a bare seat so that you can add your own straps if you want to. I decided to just paint the seat up as best I could and to make sure that this model is, basically straight out of the box – no extras or additions at all.

Closing thoughts

I think I’ve said all I need to above and so here’s my summary. A very nice kit and easy build for anyone to try their hand at.
