Sabrejet Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 @Tony Edmundson - here's 23135 with a grey seat: I have similar shots of other GH Mk.5s. Maybe both colours then? Every day is a school day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbum Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Thanks, seat is in already and is gray and detail painted! It stays gray, oh well. Monogram has a scoop on the right fuselage between the 2 "hinges" for the air brake door. Does that stay or go? Thanks again, John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GH Mk6 at the museum in Hamilton has a grey cockpit overpainted in black(all original). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plumbum Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 This one gray also! LOL---John 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Edmundson Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 one more just for good measure. There was enough pics of both colours to give me serious doubts during my build, in the end I just went with one pic of 23037, before it received the Al leading edges and intake lip.

Plumbum Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Wings glued up.---John 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbum Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 I sanded the fuselage seams, added the air brakes, nose and nose wheel well. I packed in 15 grams of weight on top of the nose wheel well then capped it off. Shouldn't tail sit now.---John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plumbum Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 Thanks. I made the scoops for the side of the fuselage. I used a reference picture to locate them. They still need some filling and sanding but they are shaping up. I used some scoops from a 1/72 Revell Eurofighter kit. I believe they were scoops to some sort of pod.---John 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Thanks for the clear scoop photograph John, your scratch example looks like it will do nicely. Cheers.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbum Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 You're welcome. The wings are on and will need some filling in the wing roots. The right side is bad, the left not so much.---John 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plumbum Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 Back to the Golden Hawk. I started masking for the silver on the leading edges of the wings and the intake around the nose.---John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbum Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 The leading edges are all sprayed up. Next is the matt black anti glare panel on the nose.---John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
