CT Modeller Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hawker Seahawk FGA.6 800 Naval Air Squadron, HMS Ark Royal and Farnborough SBAC Show, 1958 MPM Kit finished with Xtracrylic paint and Xtradecals. The serial and code from the Xtradecal sheet was changed to represent XE342 coded R/100 which was flown as part of the 800 NAS display team at Farnborough 1958. The kit’s nosewheel was too small so I substituted a nosewheel from an old Airfix Seahawk. The MPM kit was OK but I think I would use the more modern Hobbyboss kit next time around. The model is part of an 800 NAS jets collection, which starts with the Attacker – see photo. The Scimitar is also done, as are 2 Buccaneers and numerous Sea Harriers, most of which have been posted to Britmodeller at various times. Still to do are two more Buccaneer S.2s, a couple more Sea Harrier FRS.1s, one more FA.2 and a Harrier GR.9. I may well add the Harrier T.8 now Sword have produced one, and a Hunter T.8. Looking forward to it all! Chris 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain goat Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 You've done the clean lines of this magnificent machine justice -the clean overall finish adds to that. Superb! Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Gruntfuttock Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Really nice little Seahawk - clean and neat. That canopy has gone on particularly well and is so clear. The Attacker looks great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
