MODELLERS SEEKING greater refinement for Airfix’s recent 1/48 Hawker Hunter F.6 will appreciate these upgrade sets from CMK, which offer comprehensive upgrades for the kit’s undercarriage bays, wheels and cockpit.
Resin components are supplied in each of the three packages for this variant, which featured a prominent ‘dog-tooth’ notch in the wing leading edge. The Cockpit set (4387) includes a printed acetate sheet representing dials – this is fitted to a detailed instrument panel – while there are also separate controls and a superb Martin-Baker Mk.2 ejection seat. These are all added to a one-piece interior ‘tub’, which is finished with the addition of internal side walls. The Undercarriage package (4388) includes three internal panels to form the nosewheel bay, while the exquisite mainwheel apertures feature beautifully cast pipework and structures. This area can be upgraded comprehensively with the wheels (4392), which include convincing tyre tread and impressive depth to the inner and outer wheel hubs.
