A squadron brought into Singapore for ground support in what was to become a confrontation of the Cold War.

This one was with Indonesia – at that time backed by the USSR and Communist China. The Hunters worked with spotter aircraft to deliver effective air support for Commonwealth and Malaysian troops on the ground.

The Airfix kit is exactly of the period, and so could be built SOOTB. Of course there were small mistakes made during the build, but these could be corrected at the time they were discovered.

I am very pleased with the result and intend it to join the other RAF Cold War aircraft in the collection.

A very well-spent Tenner.
