Pictures in my Mind

[The Wooksta!]

This is something that I finished a few years back and one or two of you have received the parts for it.  The Hawker P.1067 Demon.  I might have posted it, but if I did, I can't find it.

You cannot view this attachment.

This is the very early version of the Hawker Hunter and it was the culmination of about 15 years of on/mostly off work.  I received some wing shapes and reworked them with wheel well bays and control surfaces.  The rest?

I did a fuselage way back in 2006, but I was going off an assumption, rather than yer actual plans and got it wrong, although it's actually right for the P.1070, so I pulled it and sat on the idea for the best part of 15 years. 

Cut to 2022.  I was in a scratch bodge mood and pulled out the P.1067 again and went to work.  Properly, with proper plans and that.

A Frog Hunter F1 front end, with the back end of the Matchbox T7, with a bomb as a jet pipe.  Cobbled together, smeared with superglue and baking soda and sanded back, then primed, sprue up and moulded.  The cockpit internal is a complete moulding of tub and nose gear bay, based on the Revell Hunter F6.  Think the fin was a reworked ZTS one, a really micey Polish Hunter kit that is frankly garbage, although some of it are salvageable.  The tailplane was sheet plastic card.  Canopy is from a Frog/Novo F-1 but I did take a mould so I can cast for a vac form plug.  I can't cast u/c legs, so it was stolen from an Airfix FGA9.
I really wanted to do a 43 Sqn one, as they were the first to get Hunters, but used other markings on an Xtradecal early Hunter sheet, as the 43 Sqn bars wouldn't fit the short airframe.

Been displayed a few times and confused quite a few people.

Looks good Lee 

[Gondor]

Yeah, I can see that confusing a few people. Defiantly a bit different.

[Weaver]

Oh nice. 

Scratched my chin thoughtfully while looking at the drawing in BSP more than once myself.

I like the look of this, and as an exercise in Numpty-boggling  it's superb.

I think I have some of those bits in one of my 'Lee Boxes'. 

[The Wooksta!]

IIRC, both you and Kitbasher got the Blackbeard kit, complete with one of Eddie's fantastic illustrations.

Nice work 

[Mossie]

That looks good, nice squadron markings too.
