1/72 Hunter FR.10

[datguy]

This is my 1/72 Hunter FR.10, which started life as the Revell F.6 kit, gained the Quickboost Mk. 9 tailfeathers, and a scratched camera nose.

I modified the nose to the camera configuration by applying a bit of clear sprue to a flattened nose cone:


Then I added Milliput to fair it in, and drilled out the camera windows.


The final product used Xtradecals sheet 72047 to represent an FR.10 XJ633/S of II(AC)Sqn, at Gutersloh, early 1960s. I had to rob the old Airfix kit to get the 230 Gal tanks for the inboard pylons. I still need to add the sway braces to the big tanks.





Enjoy.

DG,

Very nice model of 'Sierra'...

Any plans for any other 'PR' aircraft..?

Mine, but a bit bigger...

Yes Colin,

I build recce, maritime, and electronic warfare types as my primary interest, always in 1/72. I have an Italeri RF-84F and Hasegawa 1/72 F-16 with recce pod underway right now.

Here is some of my past work.

You don't see pictures or kits for 2Sqn Hunters very often, I most associate the squadron with Swifts, Phantoms and Jaguars

My Swift FR5 will be in 2Sqn markings.

DG,

Nice work....

Thought about joining the Recce SIG...?

Brighton Rock,

Yup, Hunters were between Swift and Jaguar..

Got some photos, feel free to contact.
