Paul Bradley Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 This is the new display Hawk colour scheme for 2008, as seen elsewhere on Britmodeller. This model is the Fujimi 1/72 straight from the box - yes, i know about the inaccuracies, but ask me if I cared. Decals are a mixed bag from my spares box, including the yellow 19 from the new Airfix 1/48 Spitfire I - yes, I know its a little big, but its passable as far as I'm concerned! Fun little weekend project! Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darson Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Great job Paul the Hawk certainly looks different in that color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Nice one Paul. I wondered how long it would be before someone painted a hawk in these colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Nice one Paul - this one has attracted my attention as well and I was myself wondering where to turn for decals (until MA hit this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sietse Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Wow. Talking about speed. That is one great job. I like the Hawk in this scheme. I definitely want to build it too. Hope to see the real aircraft at Fairford. Sietse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousA667 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I was myself wondering where to turn for decals (until MA hit this) I've been thinking about doing artwork for myself. If I get around to it I will post it up. peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bradley Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Cheers lads and lasses! Nice one Paul - this one has attracted my attention as well and I was myself wondering where to turn for decals (until MA hit this) I used Modeldecal generic sheets for the roundels and serials. The kit provided the stencils and, as I say, the Airfix kit provided the yellow 19s. Those could be made fairly eaasily on the computer. Th eonly other exception was the yellow walkway decals on the wings, which were from the MA 2003-4 RAF Display Hawk decal set that I happen to have. I suppose those could be made from fine yellow striping from the spares box as well, as I originally planned to do. Certainly looks different on my display shelf!

Cheers, Mr.49! If I could just ask you to dust out all the cobwebs while you're in there... Actually, a great place to meet up with us is the annual Modelzona show on November 15th. Its at the CAF Museum in Mesa, so you can kill two birds with one stone. Great model show at the perfect location!

Miggers Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 That looks great. What a fabulous colour scheme for an RAF 90th Hawk. Anyone know anyone in Valley's,Scampton's or St Athan's paintshop? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
