NealParkes Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Hello one and all, Kit manufacture: Airfix Scale: 1/72 Type: British Aerospace Hawk T.Mk.1, No.208 ® Squadron, Royal Air Force Valley, 2009 Extras used: none straight out of the box Paints and colours used: Vallejo model air black and gloss varnish Other info: I've just finished putting together this little diorama for the RAF BF Hawk, I enjoyed building the kit, quite happy with it even though it is no way near the standard of most models on the forum. The kit went together nicely apart from the undercarriage doors aren't flush with the rest of the fuselage and wing. 20160902-03.jpg by Neal, on Flickr20160902-05.jpg by Neal, on Flickr20160902-06.jpg by Neal, on Flickr20160902-07.jpg by Neal, on Flickr20160902-08.jpg by Neal, on Flickr20160902-09.jpg by Neal, on Flickr20160902-11.jpg by Neal, on Flickr20160902-12.jpg by Neal, on FlickrThanks for looking, any feedback is welcome. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingpiggy Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Nice!! How did you do the base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NealParkes Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 A piece of plywood that was lying around, drilled a hole for the acrylic rod, then painted with black acrylic paint from home bargains. I let that dry then coated with Klear a few times. I then found the RAFBF logo on the web, put through photoshop to get it the correct size, glued that with PVA glue, the sides are made with white heavy paper glued on with PVA. A cheap and cheerful base for you models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
