Revell to Release “All New” Hawker Hunter T.7/T.7A Developed From 3D Scanning

Revell is preparing to release an “all-new” Hawker Hunter T.7/T.7A model kit in 1/32 scale.

The T.7 was the RAF’s two-seat trainer version of the classic Hunter jet, built with side-by-side seating for a student and instructor, and first flew in 1955 before entering service in 1958. It was powered by a single Avon engine, could reach about 690 mph, and later six airframes were upgraded to T.7A standard for Buccaneer conversion training with updated cockpit instrumentation.

The model (03786) was developed using state-of-the-art 3D scanning technology and includes a completely new front fuselage section with authentic two-seater configuration; highly detailed dual cockpit with precise instrument panels and realistic seats; crystal clear cockpit glazing for optimal visibility of the interior details and true-to-original surface structures. Marking options are included for three aircraft: 208 Squadron, RAF (1990); RAF Blue Diamonds Display Team (1961) and Royal Netherlands Air Force (1968).

The kit is expected to be released sometime this month. Click below to check out additional images.

Revell Releases Renderings For New Bf 109E

Revell has shared renderings for their new Bf 109E in 1/72 scale.

The Bf 109E, often called the Emil, was powered by a Daimler-Benz DB 601 inverted V-12 engine and introduced just before the Second World War. It formed the backbone of the Luftwaffe’s fighter force during the early war years, notably in the Battle of Britain, and typically carried a mix of machine guns and 20 mm cannon in the wings and nose.
