Alpha Delta 210 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Hi Here is my Airfix 1/72 Hawk TMk2 bought in the recent Jadlam sale for £7. I built it from the box with the only additions being masking tape seat belts, a cut-down dress-maker's pin for the pitot and the very nice Xtradecal RAF Anniversary Update 2011/2012 I sprayed the model with Tamiya X-1, and following the decal application, I brushed on a coat of Klear (removing some of the minuscule stencil decals in the process!) I didn't use all the Airfix stencils, as I felt that they might ruin the look of the model. I'm sorry about the picture quality, but the winter overcast is not conducive to good photographs.

Fatcawthorne Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I think Mark and I must be joined at the hip. A great example of the T.2. Love this scheme and the model! Hope my 1/48th version comes out at least half as good. Do you have any dimensions for the 'Winder Aquis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Thanks for all the kind words, chaps. It is a nice little kit, but I still prefer the nose profile of the TMk1 ! Hope my 1/48th version comes out at least half as good. Do you have any dimensions for the 'Winder Aquis? I was motivated to build this kit before the 100 Squadron "Bomber Command" Hawk, because there are some good pictures of it in the current issue of Air International. The training rounds are not accurate by any means, as I just cut the forward fins and the tail section off!! Im dead jealous, I'm waiting to build this in 1:48 but waiting for someone to bring out the underbelly pod....still waiting. Nice build I re-shaped the kit gun pod which, like the acquisition rounds isn't strictly accurate, but looks OK to me in 1/72. Thanks again.
