Hawker Hunter from FG

I was looking through my uncle's old stack of models and found this beauty of an aircraft at the bottom! What a shame! Anyway, I thought it would be a good time to finally build a model of British origin. What other than the Hawker Hunter! In my opinion, it's the most elegantly designed aircraft ever produced. (besides the Grumman F-14 Tomcat!). I'm still debating on doing the landing gear or just leaving them out to save space in my display case. Anyway, I've finished up the fuselage and gonna start the wings later. I can't post any pictures right now cus my camera is dead, but be on the look out for them tomorrow.



Jarrod,

Yes unfortunately. I was hoping I had made a mistake, but I checked the FG Hawker Hunter page and i's the same as in the pictures on the page.

The models from DGA will NOT have the seams on top like that. We sell models the way the designer made them, unlike some sellers.

Also our models are 1/48 scale.
