Iain Ogilvie Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 w00t - me got a spangly new Hawk too - stunning value! In fact - mine was FREE courtesy of an Argos card we were given - me very happy bunny! Am going to make a start later this evening - still undecided as to Arrows - or another scheme - but going to go for a quick build. The two on order from Wonderland I can go to town on. Revell - once again you've come up trumps guys - I really hope this sells in crate loads (which I suspect it will ) OK - glass of wine - then scan instructions for those that need - then cut plastic Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avro683 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 so when made up how big is the hawk not as big as tornado why have argos only got one it not even in modelzone yet Just over a foot long by just under a foot wide, according to the box.

Smark Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 After reading all this chatter just after tea, I managed to reserve the one at Stratford-upon-Avon and intended to pick it up tomorrow. However, I just couldn't wait that long, jumped in the car and voila! Wifey thinks I'm nuts and wonders what all the fuss is about. I've not opened it yet (savouring the moment just a little longer) but will do so a little later with a nice cup of tea. I have also received a confirmation email from Hannants stating that they have despatched the Xtradecal 1/32 Hawk decals that I just happened to order, by sheer coincidence, earlier today! Oh happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin ritchie Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Well the last one Aberdeen has been reserved me .. pick up tomorrow afternoon, and one of the Xtradecal sheets also ordered, my first one will be the 151 SQ wrapround scheme - with Saltaires either side of the fusalage roundel - how could I not pick that one! What amazing value - way to go Revell and Argos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim dix Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Picked the last one up from Exeter, on the way home from work (sorry Tony). Its the best value kit released in a long time, and no real need for aftermarket resin, unless you want a competition winner. The decals look great, esp the ones for the seat. Its red plastic, but it will disappear under a coat of primer, so no worries. Enjoy all of yours, im looking forward to seeing the first one done (it def wont be mine).

Plastic Bonsai Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) This madness is infectious!! Bagged the one in Southampton and might have reserved another one. I see some are promised in on Monday. The portents are good: It's my birthday tomorrow and I'm off for other reasons anyway and this is my 208th posts for me. I was going to be soooo good and finish some other models first. Cheers guys! Argos must be wondering what's hit them. Dear Argos Please ask those awfully nice Revell people for a 1/32 EE Lightning and stand well back. Yours in anticipation BM Edited January 27, 2011 by Plastic Bonsai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
