...It's very satisfying when you've had an idea in your head for a while...and you build it and it ends up looking EXACTLY as you imagined it originally.  ;D...

I wouldn't know.   :-\
They never turn out as I picture them, sometimes (rarely) they are betterer.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Thats come out really well :thumbsup:
The canopy reminds me of a Meteor NF.14. which i suppose might be
a way of doing a two seater Hunter....? you'd just need to extend the
fuselage a bit.

Second that. Very subtle, I like it much - and the shark mouth is just the distracting cream puff!  :thumbsup:

I took a look at the Meteor NF14 canopy and it's pretty darn close. It doesn't taper toward the rear like the T12 canopy does and it also has a bow frame in the centre but I can't see that being a problem.

I have a normal length Maintrack tandem nose still 'in stock', which is where the T12 grew of course, and I'll see if the NF14 canopy fits.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Top notch, Kit, well done. :thumbsup:

Many years ago before I discovered hardcore whiffery (and before I knew the tandem T7 was actually a real Hawker project, I built a tandom Hunter using a Matchbox kit with a Meteor NF14 canopy. Was a close enough match I recall.

That's a really good bit of work - very convincing! :thumbsup:

 :thumbsup: The pointy nose suits the hunter really well! Great job! :cheers:
