Over the last few months I’ve been working away on a number of new projects both as part of my day-job with Doolittle media, as well as some personal projects that I can turn into new books for you to enjoy. The latest of these personal projects is entitled ‘HUNTER’, a comprehensive guide to building the 1/48 Airfix kit, from the box, detailed and of course, converted.
This series of kits from Airfix has proven to be immensely popular. It therefore makes sense – now that they are about to release another iteration onto the market – to show you how to get the best from already released kits, as well as what is possible when you combine the basic plastic model with a complex resin conversion set, to create something altogether different. If you are planning to build any of the Airfix Hunters, this book is for you!

What can you expect from your new Hunter modelling guide?
This brand-new, 52 page book will feature three different models, these being as follows:
- Hunter F.6, 79 Squadron, based at RAF Brawdy, South Wales. This model is built simply from the box, showing how you can create something pleasing with basic tools, materials and techniques.
- Hunter F.6, XE601, from the A&AEE. This is my detailing feature, revealing how to add plenty of additional detail using scratchbuilding techniques and workshop materials.
- Hunter T.Mk.7, No. 43 Squadron, RAF Leuchars, Fife, Scotland. This feature will please the more advanced modeller, taking them through the combination of Airfix and Aerocraft kits to create an attractive, two-seat trainer. Check out my previous update ‘Hawker Hunter T.7: A T-Bird In Miniature’, for further details of this model).
Along with the modelling chapters, the book will feature some welcome, full-sized reference material, with an FR.10 (see Airfix website update for further details) and T.Mk.7 coming under the glare of the photographer’s lens. All of the chapters deal in-depth with their subjects, offering everything that ran on rails, as well as discussing things that certainly did not, as you can see in one of my earlier updates on this page: The Wood For The Trees
As with all books released by me, this one is printed to order on beautiful, high-quality paper, so I’d like to offer you the opportunity to reserve a copy before they go on general sale on Thursday of this week, April 6th. With the book being limited edition as usual, this will ensure that you can grab a copy before the allocation is sold out, something I am sure fans of this aircraft and models built of it, will be happy to do! If you want a copy, let me know!
Here are some of the pages from the book to give you an idea of what to expect.
Please, get in touch to reserve your copy of this very special new book!
