You make me very glad I have been quietly stockpiling Revell Hunters for some time now (I don't have a total, but I reckon I have over a dozen.  I also have several of the matchbox kits and for certain efforts, such as doing the lengthed version that was suggested, it makes the easier conversion.

Also, I have to ask if I'm suffering from a "senior moment" ("Senior Moment", of course, is a classified USAF program ;D ) or if you did have a Hunter T.12 conversion for sale at one time?

Am I missing something or has the P.1109 conversion gone from the website? Surely it can't be out of stock already?

Same question from me, I couldn't find it either.

Immediate visions of an all black Hunter with lo-viz USAF markings with LOTS of strange aerials all over it.  :o ;D ;)

I can neither confirm or deny.  :-X

Colin, will the canopy be in resin or done by Rob Taurus also will it only be the rear section. Also where will be the cut line on the Revell Hunter and will you have the prototype at Southern Expo.

Regards
Robert

Hi Robert, the canopy is a single part vacform (front and rear), two supplied with each set. No prototype at Hornchurch unfortunately, masters are on their way to CMR now, I'm hoping to get some castings by early April but it might take a bit longer. Getting clear resin done in a timely manner is still an issue (even with CMR), so I'm a convert to the vacform now, back in fashion like vinyl maybe?

Sorry I only had a few P.1109B sets in stock, I'll have more in the next two weeks.

In which case I will wait until they are available.  I do have a question as to how close the P.1109 radome matches that fitted to XF310 for Fireflash trials since I can obtain Fireflash missiles and pylons.

Hi Robert,

60 sets of castings and canopies have arrived today, so should be released at Milton Keynes on Sunday, and on my website soon after.

Thanks,

Colin

I'm SO glad I didn't make an extra effort to go to Perth this weekend.   ;D :thumbsup:

That is kind of you to say Kit. One of my raven's has also brought news from the realm of Leighton Buzzard, Lord McEvoy has finished his first P.1101 for the SIG table.

Think I need to stop binging on Game of Thrones....

I'll ensure I bring my Hunter T12 to MK, with the in-line two-seat fuselage and the Super Hunter wings.  :thumbsup:

When will the P.1109 and tandem-seat P.1101 conversions be showing up on your website?
