First flown in August 1958, XL591 enjoyed a remarkably vibrant service life across various elite squadrons—including the DFLS and 208 Squadron—before serving as a high-speed trainer at Valley. The model is beautifully presented in the striking, high-visibility post-war RAF red and white training scheme, celebrating an era when the swept-wing Hunter formed the backbone of advanced pilot instruction before being succeeded by the BAe Hawk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for curators of Cold War military aviation and British trainer heritage, this Aviation Archive Collector Series release serves as a definitive historical artifact of RAF Valley's storied history. The model is engineered for exceptional scale accuracy, featuring a heavy diecast construction, a removable canopy revealing intricately detailed pilot figures, large port collector blisters beneath the cockpit, and four forward-facing cannon ports. Complete with a ventral-mounted speed brake that can be configured in multiple positions, optional-position landing gear, and a sleek presentation display stand, this premium model is a premier acquisition for any gallery dedicated to pioneer aerospace engineering and the Hunter legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFact Sheet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corgi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aviation Archive Collector Series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel code:\u003c\/strong\u003e AA32715\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAircraft:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hawker Hunter T.Mk 7 (Two-Seater)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial:\u003c\/strong\u003e XL591\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnit:\u003c\/strong\u003e No.4 Flying Training School (No.4 FTS)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e RAF Valley, Anglesey, Wales\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate\/Period:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1975\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:72\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,100 pieces worldwide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavyweight Diecast Metal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-vis red and white training livery, removable canopy with detailed twin pilot figures, adjustable ventral air brake, custom display stand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eModel Dimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.75\" or 19.7 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWingspan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.75\" or 14.6 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCondition\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Condition - Very Good (7\/10)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInconsistency\/wear to the paint on the side of the fuselage, just above the panel line and towards the tail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLight paint bubbling to the underside.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhite mark to the underside, with a nearby dark residue mark.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOpen speedbrake accessory has snapped on the strut.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBroken piece is included for repair.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox condition - Mint (10\/10)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhotographed under studio lighting to highlight even the smallest imperfections.
