Bae Hawk Airfix 1/72

[docjojo 1,335]

Hi everybody,

 

Here are the final pictures of this little Hawk Airfix. A simple kit to assemble but which requires some improvements if you want to detail to a minimum, Eduard is very useful at this level even if all the parts are not useful. The finishes are made with some oil paint stains and some watercolor pencils, I remain pretty soft anyway.
See what the Revell kit will look like in comparison.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you like.

 

Cheers Joel

One of the best Hawk builds I have seen in quite a while! Which Airfix kit did you use, if I may ask? Not familiar with the Airfix Hawk kits- did any of them come with the option for extended flaps, or did you make that modification to your model? I love the scheme you chose, BTW!

Way to go.  Love that scheme.  Great job!

Thank's a lot Guys

 

For Mike, i use this kit of Airfix with some Xtradecals and Eduard photoetched. Unfortunaly i don't know any kit of hawk with the flaps extended in 72° scale.

 

 

For the extended flaps i use resin parts from CMK, the flaps cut out on the model and a rectangle of plasticard.
