Something out of my comfort zone but it seemed like the right time to build it. As mentioned previously, this came about through an effort by Here Clunk to get me to try building a biplane.
The kit is all resin with the struts reinforced with metal rods. The fuselage even has alignment pegs moulded onto it.
Like seemingly all Hawker aircraft (I haven't checked the Hunter), there's a tubular frame to the cockpit.
My copy had a couple breaks in it along with some resin flash. Rather than try to clean things up and fix the breaks, I decided to give making a replacement from styrene rod a try.
Here's the first one almost done.
