Anyone know anywhere to find these two conversion kits? 

I'd love to do a supersonic radar Hunter for the RAF 100 GB.  I had a couple of each set stashed away before I got out of the hobby several years ago, and they apparently were sold as part of a big batch or lost in a move.   :-\

Thanks! 
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Hello, I can supply the P.1109A/B parts from stock, I don't have the P.1083 as masters were lost by caster (grrrrr...). PM and I can sort you out with a set.

What?  :o

That's appalling, I hope you don't use such a lackadaisical supplier any more. It's a pity as the mouldings were MAGNIFICENT!

I remember hearing that horten ho.229 wings are good for the P.1083 if your willing to scratch bash.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Hello, the P.1083 is back in stock again. Thanks to Thorvic kindly giving me his early set, Paul managed to sub-master this replacing the lost original masters. New set is very similar, except trailing edges are a bit sharper, and its cast slightly differently. Available to order from my website now.

Next set due out is also a Hunter whif, completely new and very nice to. Hopefully ready for Cosford in April. Hopefully have masters very soon, then need to go to CMR and Rob Taurus for production.

Thanks, Colin

Well done Geoff too.  :thumbsup:

Cue up the "Hallelujah Chorus", very glad to see that back available.  I would have offered up a set if no one else had.

P.1091 delta wing Hunter, perchance?  Or a P.1100?

Are the P.1109 bits still available?  I do want to combine that with the P.1083.

Might I also suggest doing a conversion for the proposed but not built tandem-seat Hunter trainer, it appears quite attractive and the old Maintrack conversion is rare and not the best.

Ordered!  Plan on combining it with the P.1109 set I have.  Should make for a world beating fighter.

You should pick up the P1120 kit Freightdog also did of the two seat fighter based on the brochure and the probable precursor to the Sea Harrier systems trainer.
