newvall Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Hi all, this is my latest model, very pleasant to built, the only improvement to do is to make new canons exit, the original ones being too awful. the cockpit and wheel well are from Aires with no major issues to instal. Hope you enjoy. Alain 47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaker Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Nice work Vall, a nice clean build. Did you follow the build instructions to the letter or go your own way a bit with it as a lot of the reviews suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newvall Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 Good mornnig, Thank you very much for all your comments. Nice work Vall, a nice clean build. Did you follow the build instructions to the letter or go your own way a bit with it as a lot of the reviews suggest? Actually yes, I preferred to put together upper fuselage, upper wing and upper flaps to prevent misalignement and to have a correct dihedral , I also strengthened this group of part with sheet of plasic inside. When perfectly strong ,I used this part as a jig to do the same for the lower parts. I also improved the very visible outlets in front of the windscreen, and the main landing gear but in this case it's useless, it's hidden by the doors. I hope it helps you . Best regrds.

John B (Sc) Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Very nice indeed, superbly made. I'm delighted to see this because I have been wondering about my build of this - not as good as yours. The central undercarriage doors seemed very close to the deck - and now I see yours are the same. I started to wonder, with that small a clearance, were they likely to get damaged in deck landings?

ChrisL Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I'm a big fan of the Sea Hawk and that is an excellent representation of it. Mind you I suspect that I'd like anything that has yellow and black Suez strips on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John, I realised that when I took the pictures, after checking pictures of actual planes, I saw that they are always closed on the ground. I will modified that. Best regards.
