CT-155 Canada Hawk trainer - standard & 2016 markings (Airfix 1/72)


Recommended Posts

Here are two examples of the Airfix 1/72 Hawk 100 (kit A03073A). The standard markings aircraft was done using an old Mike Grant decal sheet (sure wish Leading Edge would reissue their sheet!) and the 2016 anniversary scheme was built using the excellent kit supplied decal.  Building the two of them together was so enjoyable I almost wish there were more examples in Canadian markings.

They both look lovely and I really ought to get myself one of these kits. I'm not sure if it's just the lighting, however the dull red decals used on the 'Bomber Command' Hawk look too dull to me. Airfix should have made these a little brighter. 

Cheers and well modelled.. Dave

Nice work. I will go along with you regarding the Leading Edge decals. I have built one in the past and images of it together with some other models of mine are on the LEM website. But I really fancy doing another to go with my big collection of Canadian subjects.

 I also see, you have baggage pods. Are they hand made, or is it some aftermarket??

The baggage pods are modifications of the kit included gun pod.  I eyeballed removal of the plastic with an x-acto knife until I got the correct profile and then refined the shape with files and sandpaper.  I don't claim any accuracy but it looks the part and it's close enough for me.

Scalemates shows two brands of after market baggage pods, but there is a third option from Air-Graphics Models.

It shows up if you search for baggage pod only. I think the search term "baggage/fuel" was restricting it to the two results you got.
