It is a Hunter - 2 seat trainer version.

Hunter T7, 'Admiral's Barge' of the Royal Navy, judging by the pennant on the nose. Neat, if a bit 'over-scale' on the gloss finish.

Good one!

Thanks, wasn't absolutely sure....

next up Avro Manchester.

 

[Airframes]

Not bad. Bit of an odd shape around the nose area though.

 

[Wayne Little]

New you would sniff this one out real quick Terry!

 

[vikingBerserker]

I like it.

 

[Crimea_River]

Pretty good. Incorrect fin flash though?

 

[Gnomey]

Good one!

 

[Lucky13]

Is she armed with 20 mm guns instead for .303's?

 

[Airframes]

Guns are just big due to small scale Jan.
Andy, the fin flash might be correct for the period, as there were a mix of styles as changes happened. the codes look a bit bright for Medium Sea Grey though.
The nose area from the cockpit forward seems too 'thin' and pointed.

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks Terry, good to know.

Royal Blue, not black on the Admiral's barge... Sir.

Royal Blue, not black on the Admiral's barge... Sir.

I stand corrected............

 

[Wayne Little]

Next one up is a Eurofighter

 

[Airframes]

Bit heavy on the panel lines for the small scale, but quite nice otherwise.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Tend to agree Terry.

 

[nuuumannn]

I stand corrected............

Easy mistake to make; you can't really tell from the model.

 

[Crimea_River]

It would be a real art getting the subtle weathering effects done realistically in 1/144.
