The P.1101 conversion is AWESOME. 

I've now got three versions of the same aircraft and Colin's one has to be the easiest to build and the best looking too.

Looks fantaastic in the pictures and I have a Hunter put to the side ready for me to purchase one.

I was surprised by the title of this topic, speaking of "Tanden" Hunter. It seems a mistyping for Tandem, according to the source:

Those darned keyboard designers will insist on putting the 'n' right next to the 'm'................

Harry Tanden was a shy and retiring aircraft draughtsman in the 1950's.  His initials appear on several Hunter conversion proposal documents and plans  and eventually as a recognition of his meticulous work, the P1101 trainer design became known as the Tanden Hunter.

Well, we could always try getting that past the JMNs that infest some shows!!

What makes you think we haven't tried already?

So I've ordered me a couple of those "Harry Tanden"  two seater Hunters from Colin, and I'm idly wondering if the nose from a Hunter P.1109B (Firestreak Hunter) would fit?
It's a thought.... Just need a back story. And a trial fit.

I'm ahead of you there, and it will with a bit of sawing and filing.   

I thought of doing it with the original Maintrack conversion, that which lead to the multi-modeller Hunter T12 that I built with lots of assistance from OGL and Rickshaw, but the original shape's not quite right whereas Colin's is spot on.

[Thorvic]

Don't forget Colin has more variants of the P1101 due over the course of the year, the FAA one with Farley Light nose as per a GA11, a Blue Fox trainer as per the T8M and then there is the P1130 equivalent with Radar

All we have to do now is figure out how to combine ALL the different bits into one Mega-Hunter airframe.
