Looking very good! You beat me for a Rhodesian paint...lol Luckily many more RhAF schemes to paint :)

Did the Danish fly Hunters with the tail chute? I seems tor ecal they flew earlier "fighter" marks.

[Fireball6]

Great Job, as always !!!!!!!! :ernae:

[ryanbatc]

Fantastic, love that Swiss one!

[huub vink]

Very nice Henry! Do you or Jens have any plans to do one or more Hunter(s) of the RNethAF?

Thanks,
Huub

[HenryW]

Thanks!

Hei Jens! Det er ikke sikkert jeg gidder å laste dem opp, så det er bare å ta for seg. Den er meget lett å painte :jump:

Huub: Yes i got a couple in the works:

Those are such well made and beautiful repaints......It's a shame that the hunter is one ugly piece of sin.:173go1:

[huub vink]

Sorry, my mistake.
I search high and low to find which mark of 'winder the Swiss Hunters carried, but drew a blank. Since release I've discovered it should be -9B or -9P. Hey-ho.

It's a beautiful plane, it's a beatiful model and these are beautiful repaints.

WOW, thanks to Henry and Dave for this, just amazing, payware quality aircraft.

Is the two seater going to get the same FSX treatment Dave ? This got lots of hours in FS9 and plenty in FSX as a port over too.

[DaveWG]

Twin seaters are pretty much converted. Needs a bit of tweaking and some painting, but shouldn't take too long

The military aviation museum (MLM; Militaire Luchtvaart Museum) in Soesterberg has one on display.

Roger Ferry - flying out on KLM tomorrow night :jump::running:

[huub vink]

Have a safe trip Henk. I'm afraid you took the wrong period to visit our country. The weather was lovely here the last few weeks, but now its raining quite hard and the weather forecast is promising us more rain and low temperatures.

Nevertheless, enjoy!
Huub

[shackleton_boy]

ag i'm actually going to see my sister and then also do the whole Koningenedag thing :ernae:

I really cant wait :D

[HenryW]

Thank you guys :jump: But in all fairness the kudos must go to Garwood that gave us an excellent paintkit. I didn't have to work hard with the repaints :ernae:

This is by now one of my top ten aircraft for fsx. Here a few more:

Very nice as well Henry! Did you already upload one of these repaints?

Henk enjoy the time with your sister and birthday ofour (former) queen.

Yep, quite a masterpiece, even though it's a nightmare to land the darn thing. :P

And is the brake chute switch just a gimmick or is there a real chute?


Also: What about the famous Swiss "Papyrus" one?

There were other farewell liveries as well, but I couldn't find any usable pictures of them so far.

Also, any chance for some swedish liveries? :)

And, interestingly enough, the Lebanese Air Force has put four Hunters back into service in 2008!

[DaveWG]

Very nice paints Henry:jump:
I'll be adding a few of those.

@ Bjoern, the brake chute does work visually, although there isn't any braking effect. Arm the switch prior to touchdown.

Did do that, but somehow it didn't work...

Ah well, need to try again.

Not yet, i need to finetune the paints, should be finnished in a couple of days :blind:

Bjorn:

The payrus scheme sure is ugly(in my opinion :icon_lol:) But some swedes are in line

[doublecool]

Chute Switch location is where ? thats interesting:running::jump:

Got it, it works, and its COOL

:a1451: :d

Err well...I just wanted more than just one swiss livery to fool around with.

[HenryW]

Bjorn, i'll see to it, but no promises :engel016:

Here is the latest batch with the Indian representing one with the metal undersurfaces:

Better than nothing. :d :ernae:

[JensOle]

Looking very good! What about a Lebanese AF Hunter? They have recently been put back in service and are probably among the last Hunters in operative service in the world. Pics at airliners.net....

[JensOle]

BTW, great to see the Danish F.51 (F.4)!

Is the first one a Abu Dhaban FGA.76?

There isn't a FGA.76 so i aplied the textures on a F6:kilroy:
Anyway, those wil be tha last for a while, im taking a break, it was real fun to paint Garwoods Hunter :jump:

cya :wavey:

[JensOle]

Nice!

I believe the FGA.76 was build to FGA.9 standard with the tail chute. The same goes for the Leb AF Hunter.

[Bjoern]

Hah, a swiss Hunter after all! Thanks, Henry! :d

[Barvan40]

And a Dutch one, thanks Henry! :applause:

[noddy]

Beautiful. A big thank you. :ernae:

[sknepper]

Love the RRAF and RNLAF repaints especially. Mind you, they are all looking good. Can't make my mind up which is the best so far:medals:

[Naismith]

Those are such well made and beautiful repaints......It's a shame that the hunter is one ugly piece of sin.:173go1:

I missed this thread first time around. I cannot believe you said that, take it back immediately. The Hunter is a definitive Jet design in the same way the F-5 is. They are what jets should look like. And yet beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
:173go1:
Beautiful paint jobs btw.

[SpaceWeevil]

It would be so nice if someone did G-PSST 'Miss Demeanour' for the FSX Hunter. I know she divides opinions - I've heard her paint job described as sacrilege - but she always makes me smile.
