Good morning all, Pretty new to modelling, I needed to find something to entertain me. This is the first model that I have made since my age was a single figure 😅 I thought I would start with the Airfix Hawk T1, as it's a simple aircraft and use it as a test bed for techniques and so on, currently brush painting rather than airbrush. I'm really enjoying it so far despite it being far from perfect, I find it a great way to unwind. I've always liked the camo scheme so that's what I've chosen to do, not sure which squadron yet though, maybe 151 or 63. 20230228_203755 by DaleRFU1, on Flickr 20230301_142257 by DaleRFU1, on Flickr 20230301_142245 by DaleRFU1, on Flickr 20230305_104304 by DaleRFU1, on Flickr 20230307_190231 by DaleRFU1, on Flickr Cheers, Dale

First of all, hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe 🤝👍 Got a bit of time on my hands so plucked up the mojo and started this extremely red plastic devil !! Everything bar the transparents ( obviously) is molded in red plastic so until you wash it and prime it, I for one, found it difficult to imagine it looking even remotely realistic. Forgot in my haste to take pictures of the cockpit assembled prior to paint. This is where I'm at now... Not perfect but a lot better after I ditched the seatbelt decals and made my own from scratch using tinfoil sandwiched between some masking tape. The next picture shows the decals which have gone into the spares box and should never be used for their intended purpose !! A final shot showing the completed cockpit and canopy interior. Next step, the fuselage and some thought as to what will be painted prior to assembling. The red plastic... suggests everything 😉 Keep safe and keep modelling 🤝

208 Squadron is laying up it's colours. A fine squadron is to finish no later than 30/6/16. It is due to fly it's last official sortie next week. Most of the staff (pilot's) have had their postings and the ground crew (civilian) now face redundancy. I leave it to others to think of the logic as to why a highly successful squadron has been closed ahead of it's official 100th anniversary. Victor K2
