Hawker Hunter repaint request

[Seehawk98]

I am looking at getting a pair of Jordanian Hawker Hunters repainted for use in a FS Film (not for profit, obviously) on the defection of a MiG-21 from Iraq to Israel in 1966. The MiG-21 was intercepted by a pair of Hawker Hunters from the Royal Jordanian AF en route to Israel, but believed the Iraqi MiG-21 to be friendly, and simply waggled their wings. Part of this film will feature the interaction, and a brief formation flight. Preferably I would like to have two similar but unique RJAF Hunters using the aircraft created by Dave Garwood, Dave Booker, Saverio Maurri, & Rick Piper. The majority of the RJAF Hunters featured the standardized British camouflage with the RJAF markings. There were a few variants to this, and do not necessarily need to be represented. As far as the "differences" if it just consists of changing the tail number "K" to "N" and/or the Arabic numbering, that is fine. I do hope to show these aircraft in formation with the MiG-21 and each other, so I am wanting it done well (hence the reason I'm not doing it...I'm lacking in the computer-talent department).

Credit will obviously given to the work that the repainter invests, and links can be posted to a website if desired. I'm simply asking on here, as the gentleman who created the model appears to have changed emails, and unfortunately none of my other contacts really felt that they could do it. If someone is willing, I would be extraordinarily grateful. Please let me know, and I will be happy to provide whatever resources available to assist. Thank you to those who read this for the time invested, and I hope to hear soon.

Hello SeeHawk,

I'm responding tentatively here, as I'm sure there are plenty of existing Hunter repainters on here already who have their templates set up and have done many schemes, and therefore will most likely take this one. If, perchance, no one does want to take it, I'd be happy to do it, as I was only just reviewing the aforementioned Hunter today after looking at some nice pics from Tony's Gatow museum.

I'll leave it a bit for others to take it up, but as I said, I'm on standby here. YOur project sounds very interesting by the way - do you by chance watch The History Channel's 'Dogfights' TV programme? There was a good episode at the start of last season where IDF Mirages took on RJAF Hunters.

UPDATE: since no one has responded and I have clearance from Dave G, I'm going to take this one.

In the end, I ended up doing some repaints of the new Alpha Sim F-86 for Jon. If there is demand, I'm happy to put them in the Pond.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Gotta say that's the first time I've seen the Alpha F-86 and it doesn't look a patch on the freeware model. Nothing wrong with your paints though ;-)

we can do this for you

Dave - good to hear freeware still holds up in the face of the mighty ALphaSim. This is the first time I've touched payware, and as good a model as it is, I'm sure I'll continue on freeware in future.

UKmil, was that comment intended for Seehawk98 or me? If it is about the Jordanian Hunters, you are welcome to PM him about taking them on.
