Can't answer your question about the kit.But I can help with your posting problem.I use an ipad and had problems myself.One of the members advised me to download an app called 'Tapatalk',which I did.I find it very easy to use and the pictures posted with it are quite big.Not the little pictures you have to click on and enlarge to view.If you look at any of my posts in the last six months or so they were all done with Tapatalk app.

Thanks Dave I will get the app you mentioned I did some research of my own its from the 60/70s era which seems about right thanks for your reply

I tried looking at the timeline on 'scalemates' but there isnt one for this kit , as you say its probably round about the 60's or 70's . sorry i cant be more use , cheers tony

I can't find anything to date your Hunter either but it looks very nicely done for an old kit.

1954 - If you google 'hawker hunter wt585' you will find lots of references. Flew with No.43 Squadron at RAF Leuchars. Cheers Derek

Yes, the aeroplane is dated 1954, but I think the question, unless I am mistaken, referred to the date of the kit set.

Yes joe I was trying to find the date the kit was manufactured my search as revealed some interesting facts this being one that some of you might find interesting Hawker Hunter Tower Bridge incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Very interesting story John, thanks for the link. He really commemorated the RAF's anniversary in style that is for sure.
