Airfix has announced the upcoming release of their new tool Hawker Hunter F.6 model kit (A09185) in 1/48 scale.
Originally entering service with the RAF in 1954, the Hunter went on to operate with a large number of countries and in a number of conflicts. Its design arguably peaked with the Rolls-Royce Avon 203-powered F.6 variant, which is described as “the definitive interceptor version of the Hunter.”
The kit’s livery options have reportedly changed since initial reports and are now said to include XE597/A of 63 Squadron (Commander’s aircraft specially marked for the 1958 Battle of Britain display), XF509/73 of 4 Flying Training School and N-209 of 324 Squadron.
The expected release date has also changed from October to December, although pre-orders are now being accepted. Click below to check out additional images.
