It is so very nice to see a decent sheet for the Hawker Hunter in 1/72, and with the release of the new Revell AG 1/72 Hunter F.6, it is a double pleasure. The sheet provides all of the insignia, serials, and unit markings with the stencils to come from the kit sheet. No kit is specified, but in 1/72 you have options from Frog, Matchbox, Airfix and Revell AG. The latter two are undoubtedly to be the choice of most modelers. Those wishing to use the Revell kit for this sheet will have to wait for the FGA.9 boxing or do some modifications as there is only one F.6 included. 

Without any further ado, here is what is on the sheet.

Indian AF F.56 from the Target Towing Flight in Dark Sea Grey over Aluminum.

The sheet instructions also show placement of the decals and the various camouflage patterns. Please note that in most cases, the demarcation line between the upper and lower edges is quite hard. Even the separation between the disruptive upper surface camo is very tightly done. An excellent sheet for the Hunter fan.
