Hawker Hunter Mk 58 Conversion?

[Zank_Frappa]

Hi all,

I'm working on a build of Fliegerstaffel 15's J-4015 "Papyrus", and I was wondering if anyone knew of any conversion parts for a Swiss mk 58, specifically the spent ammunition collection bulges (at least that's what I think they are)

Thanks

In 1/32?  The Revell Germany releases of the Hunter FGA.9 contained parts for the Swiss Mk. 58, including the extended shell collectors with dispensers, cannon muzzle brakes, extra wing pylons, and AGM-65s.  I believe the US Revell-Monogram reboxing deleted the sprue of Swiss parts.

Hmm, that's good to know. I've been fiddling with making plugs for and sculpting the shell collectors all evening.

Here’s a link to the Scalemates page, with a copy of the instructions.

You want either the original RoG release, or the 2014 rebox, with the latter being slightly more desirable as they included a couple of parts that were improved for the F.6 boxing.  You don’t want the US boxing, or the F.6 boxing.  Alternately, if someone just built a straight FGA.9 from the kit, maybe they can spare the Swiss sprue (the one with the big tanks and the AGM-65s).  This is the sprue.
