cngaero Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 A great looking Hawk. I've always liked the camouflaged version, it looks so business like and aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Must say, that really looks the business to me! I particularly like the precise and delicate touches on the undercarriage and wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Looks good to me, especially in the purposeful grey/green scheme. Nice one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonf45 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Absolutely stunning! I'm on my 8th Chivenor Hawk and I don't have any even a quarter that good!!!! I've just started the same one and 2 things of note, the air intake instructions are still wrong even after all these years and XX353 was a very odd choice as it was written off in 1983 so never became a T.1A!!!! All those others they could have chosen 🤣 Beautiful build though, can't believe how good the canopy alone looks, very jealous!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, and thats one of the things Im not best pleased with Jonf45, but thanks for the comments. I did have an issue fitting those intakes and had to use a bit of correction fluid to fill the gaps, I wasnt aware the instructions were wrong until now, I thought it was just a dodgy fit. You live and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgizlu Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Agree with all of the above - nice to see a well done Hawk - and particular kudos for that canopy sealing Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Yes, very nice job with the canopy sealing. The colour looks just right - what did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the seal I used Tamiya XF1 flat white with a touch of XF55 deck tan if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
