Administrators James H Posted January 28, 2015 Administrators Posted January 28, 2015 Hi guys and gals, Does anyone know what exactly is available for the 1:32 Revell Hawker Hunter? I'm more interested in what's happening in the cockpit, and that seat looks seriously shit. I've been asked to build this for a mag, and want to make an effort with this one. 1
Matt_ Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Hi Jim True Details do a reasonable upgrade 'pit at a good price. The seat is the best aspect. Flightpath do something complex and quite expensive.. lots of PE.. To be honest, I doubt it needs much more. The weakest part after the 'pit arethe main u/c bays which don't have any undercut (for obvious reasons) and are particularly un-prototypical where they meet fuselage. Nice kit.. you've done one haven't you...? Matt
Dave J Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I have seen some Decals sheets somewhere for the Hunter... Think it was Hannants maybe?
Administrators James H Posted January 29, 2015 Author Administrators Posted January 29, 2015 Cheers guys. I might get that cockpit set. I've never built one of these before. Looks a real nice kit, and pretty different from what I'm used to.
RalphSarc Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Arno and I shopped eBay etc and seemed to have found and bought the last two True Detail resin cockpit kits for the Hunter last year! Now while I haven't search lately I wasn't able to find any aftermarket!!
Administrators James H Posted January 29, 2015 Author Administrators Posted January 29, 2015 The Kit Pit is Shit......no doubt. Ordered the True Detail pit from Hannants. So now I can fit it with a non-Shit Kit Pit.

Matt_ Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Seat's the best part of the set and it does fill the pit with a nice non-shit-sit-upon.... Even their set simplifies the area behind the seat, but there aren't many images of the area on the net that I could find. If you want any photos of this area (I have a couple) then PM me. Thing with the Hunter is that it's sleek and simple. Take care with the whole engine intake, forward to rear fuselage and wing joins. If you take a while to dry fit and make some adjustments it will all go together quite nicely. I'd tell you more but it's been so long since I did this I've forgotten what I did.. I wish Revell had released the two seat tooling (they couldn't come to an agreement with the Echelon chap - as Revell had clearly copied his work)... oh well... Matt
krow113 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Eduard P/N # 32 037. Full P/E set , but good luck finding it , I was lucky to.
Administrators James H Posted February 4, 2015 Author Administrators Posted February 4, 2015 Just picked up the True Details set. The rest will be OOB, except for lead wiring etc. This one starts soon
