Hunter T.12?

Will this conversion be available again? I definitely want to pick up a couple of them.

If you mean the in-line two seater, Colin says they're under development now, but aligned to the Revell kit rather than the old M'box version. See the Freightdog thread for more info.

No, I mean the Hunter T.12 that was built. Only one was built and it had a bulge on the nose for sensors; it was originally intended to be the prototype of a trainer for use by TSR.2 crews. If memory serves me correctly (some would say that's debatable at my age, 67), Colin did have one on his website earlier.

You can find a profile of the T.12 here (green and white colour scheme) ...

The T.12 was indeed the proposed trainer for the TSR.2, assuming a dedicated trainer wasn't built. It had the "big bore" engine of the FGR.9, and a bulge on the nose to house a camera.
The sole example built was converted for use as something else (I forget what), but crashed.

Did Freightdog ever do the Hunter P.1099?

Hello chaps, I have just had a few Hunter T.12 sets cast up, pm if of interest.

Thanks, Colin

Me! Me! Me!

Pm inbound.

Thanks for the interest chaps, I've messaged you all separately.

Might be worth having a think about an early Hunter - F1-F5? You already have the straight wing in the P1099, you just need the small bore jetpipe.

Have a word with Paul Lucas - he did an early Hunter conversion so the jetpipe there may fit the Revell.

I've a... erm, clone of said conversion and it'd need work to fit the Revell kit. However, John Adams did a resin conversion so a word with him could be fruitful.
