About product

Matterhorn Circle 1:72 Hawker Hunter Mk.58 and T Mk.68 late: decals

A sheet of waterslide decals for models of the Hawker Hunter jet in its Swiss versions, that is the single-seat Mk.58 and the two-seat T Mk.68 trainer, in the form of the later period of service. The package holds decals only. Matterhorn Circle is a brand focused on the markings of Swiss aircraft, a subject that appears in kit decals only rarely.

The real subject

The Hunter was a British single-seat jet fighter with a swept wing that became one of the most widespread Western European combat types of the 1950s. The Swiss Air Force introduced it in the single-seat Mk.58 version and added two-seat T Mk.68 trainers with a lengthened nose and a cockpit for two pilots side by side. The type stayed in Swiss service for an exceptionally long time, went through several upgrade programs and flew in the mountain environment until the early 1990s. It was precisely the late period of service that brought finishes and markings noticeably different from the state at introduction.

Tips for applying the decals

In 1:72 scale the lettering is small and its edge turns white easily, so always apply it over gloss clear coat. With specialist brands the sheet tends to be thin and pliable, so soak it briefly and transfer it to a dampened spot so that it can still be moved. The Swiss machines carry prominent insignia and warning stripes, which are best placed according to the instructions before the water underneath dries. Apply decal softener to a decal that has already settled and do not move it afterwards. Finish the model with a matte or semi-gloss clear coat depending on the period you are building.

Who the sheet is for

  • modelers of postwar European jets in 1:72 scale
  • anyone interested in the Swiss Air Force and its unusual markings
  • builders who want to put the single-seat and the two-seat version side by side

The package holds decals only. The model, glue, paints and clear coats are not part of it, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The name gives both versions; you will find the exact division of the markings between them in the enclosed instructions.

It refers to the later period of service of the type, which corresponds to a different state of finish and markings than on the machines from the time of introduction.

It is not. This is a separate decal sheet; the kit has to be bought separately.

A matte surface is full of microscopic cavities under the decal film, which show up as a white frame around the lettering. Gloss clear coat prevents that.
