stevej60 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 It's a what if but not a million miles off the mark as while the development of the T-45 Goshawk was underway the USAF took a serious look at a version to suit there need's.so plenty of decal's in the stash but need to look at what kind of colour scheme would look good,kit won't be here for a few day's so plenty of time to look.Picked up a Red Arrows boxing for a fiver on e-bay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 How about the two tone grey of the T-38’s ? https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/104569/t-38-talon/ Also some good ideas here ? https://www.cybermodeler.com/aircraft/t-38/t-38_all.shtml 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 Kit arrived in A1 condition as expected in bright red plastic which should be interesting as she will be painted overall white! Interior painting first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 Not one of my better ideas to paint a red plastic kit white two coats of white primer and three Tamiya white and there's still a pink hue to the damn thing,I'm in two mind's whether to go dayglo or dark blue for the trim. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Hi folk's,a pot of dried up Orange led to a change of colour so I went for Blue rather than plain old white just a little tidying up but looking good masking wise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard E Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 One of the rules of a good WHIF is that it's got to look "right" - and your Hawk looks just right. The blue/white scheme looks a lot like an anniversary special scheme if you could lay hands on some suitable markings for the tail...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 That looks cool, not as cool as a camo wrap, but still cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
