HAWKER HUNTER FGA-9 1-72 SCALE HIGHLY DETAILED MODEL 3D print model

Hawker Hunter was one of the most successful fighter/attack aircraft in history. Although the design had a wide range of issues and problems initially, these were eventually solved, and the iconic hunter saw a long, exemplary and glorious service, spanning more than four decades with more than 21 air-forces around the world.

Here, a package of sixteen highly detailed 1/72 scale models of Hawker Hunter FGA.9 is provided. Eight models show the aircraft in clean configuration, another eight show the aircraft with pylons . The models show various states of aircraft components, including landing gear, flaps, air-brake and cockpit canopy. The combinations of these components being extended or retracted is based on general practices, design and operational working of the aircraft (eg. air-brake cannot be extended when landing gear is extended). All models with extended undercarriage have detailed landing gear bays. The parked model includes a detailed cockpit. The landing gear in extended condition is integrated in the model wherever applicable.

Following abbreviations are used in file names to identify the positions of various components in a particular model:

LGO: Landing gear open/extended; LGC: Landing gear closed/retracted.ABO: Air-brake open/extended; ABC: Air-brake closed/retracted.FOXY: Flaps open/extended by XY degrees; FC: Flaps closed/retracted.CO: Cockpit open; CC: Cockpit closed.PYL: Model with pylons.

All models have 230-gallon fuel tanks, since they were always attached during operations, along with a bracing strut, allowing the aircraft to maneuver with the tanks attached. Also, FGA.9 has flaps with cut-outs to prevent the tanks from interfering with operation of the flaps.

Models of 100-Gallon fuel tank and SNEB rocket launcher are also provided. To be printed separately and glued while matching the slot into the protrusion below pylons.

NOTE: This is a single piece model and is suitable only for large-format SLA printers. A model suited for FDM would be uploaded soon.

NOTE: This is only a scaled down dummy model of the aircraft for display purposes. No working parts are present.

NOTE: Please check the terms of license before using this model. It is advised to discuss any public use with author in advance.
