RE: Building the Mick Reeves Hawker Hunter
I had been waiting on the drop-tank kit to arrive, before closing out the wing - that way I would be sure of getting the hardpoints in the correct location...
The drop-tank kit arrived from Mick last week. It really is a kit, and not a partial assembly as some manufacturers provide. Each tank is built up from a sheet of Proskin that you must roll into a cylinder, wooden parts used to support the skin and keep the cylinder round, 4 pieces of clear plastic that you must join to make the nose and tailcone of the tanks, plsu a host of other pieces that you assemble to make the pylon.
Below you can get an idea of some of the design of the tanks:
