Playing in the mountains
Been polishing off some details on the Swiss Hunter model, so I thought I'd take her back home.

Re: Playing in the mountains
One thing I have noticed is there's a fair amount of trim on in that first shot and the ASI is calibrated differently to the one I have sitting on my desk (though mine may not be Swiss)

Re: Playing in the mountains
The panel is based on the Hunter at the Midland Air Museum at Cov, (F.6 if I remember correctly) which you very kindly photographed when I made the original series Dave. The ASI etc are accurate(ish) to that one, and look to be the same as the pilots notes. You're going to get basically the same panel across the all the marks, with a few minor alterations.
Don't worry about the trim, that's just my crappy flying, and whatever you do, don't look at the G meter!

Re: Playing in the mountains
Just as a matter of interest, we went to Arizona a couple of years back, and there is a Swiss Hunter parked up at Grand Canyon airport.
I'm sure it wont be long, before somebody tells me all about it.
