Fighting Colours 5: Hawker Hunter in British Service

.

.

by Richard Caruana.

Softcover (horizontal: 11.7×8.3 inches). 54 pages. 2024.

Subtitle: 50th Anniversary Collection

A short development history and deployment soon transforms into a massive color camouflage profile section. Granted, most are the basic sea gray and dark green pattern with aluminum underside — only the markings are different.

Each caption — in really tiny type — contains information about colors, markings, locations, and sometime pilots.

The book contains four black and white photos, 13 black and white illustrations (“Hunter Versions Comparison Guide”), 137 color profiles (129 side, four top, and four bottom), and 81 unit insignia (some duplicates).

It’s a glorious color guide for modelers looking for Hunter versions from 1954 to 1971, although this book also includes a 1989 Hunter T Mk 8C.

Enjoyed it.
