Swiss Hawker Hunter

Revell's 1/72 scale Vampire FB.5 is available online from Squadron.com

Here is my Revell Germany Hunter in 1:72 scale in Swiss Air Force colors.

This build was done pretty much the same as the one described in my earlier article, but I finished this model using several weathering techniques to represent the plane as a worn-out Swiss Hunter towards the end of its carrier in the late 1980s.

I added scratch-built "TABO" bombs and 20 Oerlikon 8 cm rockets left over from my last project, the CMR Venom.

The airplane I built is a true used aircraft, one of a number of refurbished Hunters the Swiss Air Force bought from the RAF in 1973.
