The Hawker SeaHawk


Recommended Posts

High Folks,

My recent built, HobbyBoss 1:72 Hawker SeaHawk.
One of the aircraft that gave a hard to the Pakistan forces during 1971 war in the east was the hawker Seahawk, what a beautiful aircraft, had a glorious service with the Indian Navy and served it proudly. The kit is hobby boss, good kit much better than Airfix one, just tad expensive and Indian is spelt as INIDIAN. Hope it turned out ok.

cheers.

Very nice.

By co-incidence,I'm re-reading the book 'Downwind four green'  by Vice Admiral Vinod Pasrichina ,which is all about the Sea Hawk in Indian service.

Thank you sir, Wow, haven't read that book yet but now am eager to read it.

Very nice model, I have just finished the same kit, but as an aircraft of 898 Sqn in 1954. It is a nice build, I just put a better bang seat in and changed the aerial fit.
