Hobbycraft 1/48 Hawk 75 - France 1939/40


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, 

 

This is my latest build, depicted as an aircraft of GC II/5, with 5 confirmed victories and 2 probables upto June 1940. I attempted some brush painted chipping in line with a couple of period photos ( can be seen in my WiP ). Please go easy on me with this, I know it’s not the most realistic, I think hairspray is the next method I’ll try!

 

I upgraded from the kit parts with aftermarket, namely a resin seat, resin engine and an Eduard Photoetch set, worth it for the minimal cost of these. The aircraft was painted with lifecolor acrylics, my first experience of these, would certainly recommend! What I would not recommend is the Berna Decals set I used on this, they were far too thick and would settle down. Various bits of staining were done with a Revell weathering set, I was particularly pleased with the mud stains, although they may be slightly overdone! 
 

Hope you all enjoy, any questions or comments please fire away!

Very nice! The dirt behind the wheel wells, the engine exhaust and the smoke stains off the guns are well done. Display happily and proudly.
