Designed to exceed the performance of the straight-wing carrier-based Hawker Sea Hawk, the Hawker Hunter first flew on July 21, 1951. Early versions of this swept-wing aircraft suffered from a host of problems such as a short range (Maximum flight endurance was only about one hour) and an unreliable engine, but a series of refinements resulted in an aircraft that went on to become history's longest-serving British jet fighter, with almost 50 years on the front lines. The Hunter's high power-to-weight ratio and improvements in armament and fuel capacity made it an appealing export, and during its service history it was operated by 19 different nations. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Corgi's 1:72 scale Hunter series spans the long history of this aircraft, from its use during the cold war to its role in military aerobatics. The model is heavy, constructed with only the smallest amount of plastic. The canopy is removable, revealing an intricately detailed pilot figure. Large port collector blisters are easily seen below the cockpit, with four cannon ports located forward. The ventral mounted speed brake is easy to configure in either deployed or closed configurations. Keyed landing gear provides an uncomplicated configuration for ground display. F9 and late F6 variants feature housing over the tailpipe for the braking parachute.
