Suez Hawker Sea Hawk (Hobbyboss 1:72)


Recommended Posts

Hello!

I was looking forward to making this kit but unfortunately I was sorely disappointed. The kit could be good but some parts have an awkward fit, the instructions are incorrect, the decals were of horrible quality and the decal instructions were wrong! I think the worst thing though was the fact that the instructions made no mention of nose weight being needed (and a lot of it!) and therefore I had to improvise a base.

 

Anyway, I tried to fix what I could and I'm still quite happy with the result. I don't think I'm ever buying Hobbyboss again though...:rant:

Thanks everyone

Just popping in to say

 

Please never buy this model, it's so awful.

Currently reliving the bad memories of making it as I try to fix it (it's literally falling apart due to how badly the attachments were designed)

I'm so close to just chucking it in the bin...
