Academy 1:48 Hunter F.6

February 17, 2025 · in Aviation · · 12 · 190

For your consideration, an Academy 1:48 Hunter F.6. I replaced the undersized cockpit with a KMC resin replacement which looks and fits nice. Used aftermarket Hunter Xtradecals decals for 4 FTS at RAF Valley. While kit has accuracy issues, it goes together really well and was a joy to build. These kits are available at reasonable prices and I have two more in my stash along with several of the Airfix variety as well.
