General Jumbo Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 What a good idea - really interesting to see the paint swap. This could start a trend you know - I wonder what else could be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage_express87 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 you herd it here first... but i would lik to at one point do a harrier ... 1.48 and obtain the decal sheet as a one off red arrow... but if sum1 else beats me to it, you know you see it here first... 2bh i dont think it come out to bad at all. my mate loved them, and took all but the top to pics, i put them on a plinth, stupidly i didnt take a pic, but i will as soon as i go to his next :L ... i have only recently started doing model as they are on the box.. beats me i used to lik them basic and less demanding.. some troubeled times lead to some late nights and i happened to have the greek corsair 2... dam the was hard.. :L there are pics on here and my current Hawk project this propted ... cant wait till the others turn up >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spitfire Hawk swap was a brilliant idea. I especially like the Spit - Red Arrows 1943! Now I'm thinking about a Thunderbirds Mustang or Blue Angels Wildcat.

JMChladek Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 A Spitfire actually looks nice in Red Arrows colors. The Hawk does indeed look a lot like the 2008 Hawk, but I do like the D type roundels a little better compared to the pre-war ones, as well as the three letter squadron/plane codes. Even after seven decades, dark earth, dark green over sky still looks good on practically anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
