David Womby Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 This is the old Frog kit. It is pretty accurate but has no wheel wells or cockpit. That doesn't bother me as I build them in flight and don't bother detailing cockpits anyway. I added cannon ejector chutes and a catapult hook and drilled out the exhausts. The decals are an very old Modeldecal sheet and had a few adhesion problems so there's silvering here and there. The undercarriage doors and the auxiliary intakes on the spine are homemade decals. Comments and suggestions are welcomed. Thanks for looking. David 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Very nice indeed. Amazing what you've achieved with this ancient kit. Having the undercarriage up lends itself well to the Seahawk with those lovely clean lines. I've always liked 898 Squadron's flying fish motif.

Spitfire31 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Great looking Sea Hawk! That first photo really impresses, unlike some posts that have opening photos of the model on its back, showing just a pale belly… Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryanm Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Beautiful clean build of a beautiful clean jet and that wonderful classic Frog stand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 A very tidy build. It's nice to see the classic FROG stand being used. They really add something to the finished model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the Frog stands: I have VERY few of these but they are wonderful for displaying in flight poses. I love their late period blue SkyBase stands too but wish they had been in clear plastic. I am not keen on their mid-life pointy stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
