Revell 1/72 Hawk T.1 Group build chat

[CliffB]

I've just ordered mine.  Thanks Russ 

[Black Knight]

I'll wait to order mine.

I'll let others get from the current stock then I'll get mine from the next batch

It'll be fresher then . . . .

Ah, but the moulds won't be as sharp.....

[HoolioPaulio]

Ordered my Hawk and a Dominie.  I'll put them in the freezer when they arrive to keep them fresh for the build

[RevDWC]

Just ordered one of this kit (and another) from Jadlam, so sign me up for this group build.

After a good search, aI couldn't find one for sale online here in NZ, so here's hoping it gets here within a reasonable timeframe.

[Ratch]

That's me out 😢

[vppelt68]

Hawks? Great! I'm in! Pic c/o FinAF.

 

[PhantomBigStu]

Ah so the hawk won and it can be a WHIF going to be fun picking subjects, probably will be restrained given other commitments but think I can manage one real and one WHIF  

[helios16v]

I like the inclusion of WHIFs.  I've got lots 72nd decals in the bin to come up with something different.  Time is not on my side though.  But the kit is cheap and readily available through SprueBros so I can snag one in short order if I need to and opportunity presents itself.

@thepureness, @JadlamRacingModels

Little H wants to join the GB. She’s 10 and when she builds in the BlitzBuild GBs, I post for her under my account, but put

“Little H builds” in the title for her builds, as I use “H builds” for mine. 

Are you happy for her to join and for us to post builds this way?

We need @trickyrich to get involved with tactical voting. 

I’m sure @nimrod54 will want to join in. 

@thepureness, Do we get free choice on aircraft markings say for example in the Hawk somehow wins 

Sorry chaps, I have just got out of hibernation. I hope that it's not too late to join in, let me know if it is OK. It will have to compete with a Tornado for time, but I should be able to get one finished.

Absolutely. Just title her build in the gallery when you upload it

That's great. I have ordered a kit from Jadlam, I will really have to press on with some builds that need to be wrapped up before this one starts now.

[Hockeyboy76]

Just ordered two kits from @JadlamRacingModels, thanks Russ. 

Little H is looking forward to this. 

[Doccur]

Got the kit from @JadlamRacingModels and ordered some decals!

 

Cant wait to get started.

The postie's just delivered my Hawk and it looks to be a very nice little kit.  I'll have to have a think about decals now, although the ones it comes are quite nice.

 

Dave.

[HoolioPaulio]

I'm a little torn.  Before this GB was even a twinkle in Jadlams eye I've been wanting to get this very Hawk kit from Jadlam for the black  scheme, it looked ace.  Trouble is there's too much risk that someone else will do the same stock scheme.  So I'm already eyeing up several schemes I've seen on Google, plus I'm seriously toying with doing a slightly humerous what if scheme I came up with, which I hope will eliminate any chance of duplicates in the gallery.

This is what we like to see! Whilst real life schemes are great its great to see something off the cuff!

 

Ive often considered mixing up decal sets on kits we have in stock! RAF Porsche 911 GT3 alongside a Gulf Motorsport Spitfire maybe - sounds terrible but good fun.

Nobody will criticise you for doing the box scheme regardless of how many others do it as well

That sounds fun. What-if WWII never happened and air races such as the Schneider Trophy dictated the pace and path of aircraft development. A suggestion for your next GB competition idea perhaps?

Great Idea - as I have said before I an keen to do these GB's as often as you guys want to do them. Got thousands of kits here, all waiting to be built!

Now there’s an idea, sound thinking from sooooo far out of the box it’s coming from a galaxy far far away..........

Am I giving things away???? Probably Not, or am I?

I have a whole series of Whifs planned along these very lines. Though my build allows for Whif scemes on anything that could be raced other than sci-fi.

Do it!!!  I was actually thinking about rummaging through the spares box and seeing what kind of wild alterations I might come up with.

I'll likely just end up throwing some decals from a non-operator from a different era on it.
