scottyphbeta Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Here is my Airfix Hawk T2 of 25 Sqn at RAF Valley. Thought the new squadron would a nice way to start on the Hawk stash. Still find getting a nice gloss finish a bit of a battle and this is my first effort with the gloss black. Additions for this kit were the Air Graphics decals and baggage pod, aftermarket metal Pitot Probe and scratch built wing tip missiles and aerial behind the cockpit.. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delticfan Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Well done, great build. What paint system / finish did you use, it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was painted using Humbrol enamels (Gloss Black) and Humbrol Gloss Cote to finish once the decals were on. I don't have any problems with the Humbrol Top Cotes but I'm guessing that's because I use enamels? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
