Deanflyer Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Hi all, If you've been following my WIP thread on this, you'll know the trials and tribulations I've gone through to get this finished. The cockpit walls had to be detailed, the flaps lowered and scratchbuilt, a new windscreen home made after the original disintegrated, problems getting the gloss coat to set, decals which wrinkled and refused to respond to MicroSol...you name it. Anyway, here it is after 67 hours work, in the best trainer scheme the Hawk ever wore in my opinion. Excuse the photography, natural light has been hard to come by today... Now, what's next..? Cheers, Dean 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearmatt Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Now that's a beauty. And not even afraid of taking head-on pics with a scheme like this! 🙂 (perfect symmetry) SUPERB B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldy Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Well despite all the trials and tribulations, it looks really nice. I agree with you that this was the nicest scheme worn by Hawks - way back in the 80's! Cheers Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

819 Squadron Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Dean, what a brilliant model. Nice to follow your in progress. I have one question: Where did you get your seats from and which company produces them with the early headrest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwitrogg Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I have a fondness for the old Hawk and you've done a smashing job of this one. I wish I could get a gloss like that ! Cheers Gaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
