1/72 Airfix RAF Benevolent Fund BAE Hawk Gift Set

[NealParkes]

Hello one and all,

• Kit manufacture: Airfix
• Scale: 1/72
• Type: British Aerospace Hawk T.Mk.1, No.208 ® Squadron, Royal Air Force Valley, 2009
• Extras used: none straight out of the box
• Paints and colours used: Vallejo model air black and gloss varnish
• Other info: I've just finished putting together this little diorama for the RAF BF Hawk, I enjoyed building the kit, quite happy with it even though it is no way near the standard of most models on the forum. The kit went together nicely apart from the undercarriage doors aren't flush with the rest of the fuselage and wing.

Nice!! How did you do the base?

A piece of plywood that was lying around, drilled a hole for the acrylic rod, then painted with black acrylic paint from home bargains. I let that dry then coated with Klear a few times. I then found the RAFBF logo on the web, put through photoshop to get it the correct size, glued that with PVA glue, the sides are made with white heavy paper glued on with PVA.

A cheap and cheerful base for you models.
