.....early examples please. Ideally I'd like two....I think the F6 or export equivalent will do but not fussed as long as single seater.....

You don't have many options, my copy of PAK-20 says only three manufacturers produce a kit. Revell (but going through the list one doesn't show up), Welsh Models and Wimco Hollows. The last two being vacuform kits and the last one being around in the 1950's.

I have been looking at Mark1 models who do loads of marks including the mk 6/9 version, usually 4 decal options and 2 kits per box. The mk58 would suit as well. Just hard to find....i tried a few online stores in Czech Republic but they say discontinued...

Looking at it it may be reboxed revell kit...

I have to admit, I've never heard of that company (but in my defense, I don't build 1/144). The PAK-20 was published in 2002 with four addendums stretching it to 2007. Mark1 must be a new company since the last addendum --- 

Just read up on it, the company is an offshoot of 4+ Publications which has been around for a while. The kit side of it beginning in 2013 by the looks of it.

They do good stuff, I have a number of their umpteen variations of the Wessex and they're really good kits.  :thumbsup:
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! :)

Ah....Mr Spackman.... I was going to contact you.... I want the hunters to go with the two Mig 17 I have for an extended/2nd Korean War.... I have tried to source 1/144 N Korean markings.... I found one sheet for 10 Mig 15 airframes but only one set of national markings......

Shouldn't be a problem Hank, assuming you can find the Hunters of course.

I'm sure I have some in the stash but with stuff going on I can't get to all the stash.....there is a 1/144 box somewhere among the 20 or so big black storage boxes with one or two in...
Do you want me to send dimensions of the decals when they arrive...?

Hey Hank, there are a few Mark 1 1/144 Hunters on evilBuy, only issue is that they are the Recce Vers, but it does have the FGA.73A option and 2 of the 3 are US based, the third being Victoria AU. The only other option I see is the Fox One productions, a 3D printed kit.
"Mind that bus." "What bus?" *SPLAT!*

Cheers for that...  :thumbsup: I have by some miracle/fluke....found 2x revell ones in a bag I couldn't remember stashing in the stash....wirh a load of other 1/144 stuff....but I'll give them a look see....
