***finished*** PBS Hawks

And been defeated,seems had some glue warpage under the nose, correctable with superglue Abd sanding but not in a day or two, best use the time making sure the p-36 and p-40n make the gallery

Least the p-40n will make the gallery, both it and the E are ready for matt coats

Hawk decals have arrived, no way I can get them on and the Matt varnish on in such little time 

 

[PhantomBigStu]

Kittyhawks in the gallery, decals on the hawk, though woes continue, lost a bit of a lower roundel, lack a bright enough shade of red to correct 

 

 

[PhantomBigStu]

Hawks now ready for matt varnish, was unable to find a suitably bright red but cracked on regardless

Keep going, it'll look great when it's done.

Hawks done, also canned the tomahawk, felt the effort required to get the nose profile back to circular wasn’t worth it, will pop in Aldi/lidl and see if there’s any more left.

Thanks for the tip, PBS, I was too late to get my current P-40 builds into this GB but am on a run of them now (in WIP). My local Aldi also has a bundle of Airfix New Tool Tomahawks in ...two less now! All the best. Mike
