Home is the Hunter

This 1/300 scale Hunter was painted a few months ago - I forgot to post the photos at the time!  It is a one-piece casting by Heroics & Ros which I'd had in stock for some years.  The paintwork was finished off with the rather fetching black and yellow 'Suez' stripes of which I am rather fond.
One of my favourite postwar aircraft, the Hunter belongs firmly in the 'if it looks right it is right' category.
I suppose I should dig out the Airfix 1/72 Hunter I have and build it.  No rush though....l

    In 1983 at RAF Coningsby during a Taceval I saw a Phantom chasing a Hunter at what appeared to be tree top level over the bomb dump where I worked. Pretty thrilling stuff!

    You worked in a bomb dump? Is this the last great revelation of the Cold War? I can imagine that a Phantom at low level must have made quite an impression!

    The black nose radome is, of course, inaccurate....
