1/72 FRADU Hawk T.1

[Smudge]

After a protracted build, finally managed to finish this little Airfix 1/72 BAe Hawk T.1

 

Used some Model Art Decals for a FRADU aircraft and a lovely little brass pitot from Master. 

 

Was going to be a straight forward build, but I did get a bit carried away with some small details.

Thanks for looking.

The main reason that I have never built a Hawk is because I can't decide what markings to do it in. I probably have 3 or 4 in 72nd and at least 2 in 48th. Yours looks very neat.

The white wing tips and wing roots are a nice contrast.

Thanks @Todders

 

I chose this one because I felt the white markings added a bit of interest, compared to the more familiar all black.

 

We certainly are spoilt for choice when it comes to Hawk markings. I do like the original RAF training scheme of red/white/grey and there are some interesting export customers, and of course some colourful display teams. Hard to choose 

 

Hawks are a pretty little aeroplane, good luck with yours.

Very atmospheric.  Another wet day in west Cornwall, I see.

Very nice indeed and wouldn't it be nice if a EDSG and white scheme aircraft was rolled out as a special.

Yes, good idea. That would look smart, especially with a nice tail marking.

 

Cheers.
