stevej60 Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Evening folk's,well it's been one of those day's with rain lashing on the roof and skylight the missus watching Christmas film's only needing lunch and a couple of coffee's which meant double the usual modelling time.I cracked on with the Hawk and before long I was way boyond planned progress.To be fair this has always been a vice free kit that does fly together,after painting the interior the supplied decal's were applied and tape belts added going well. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 Hi folk's,last weeks progress report.All primed and as a first for me after all these years the canopy is fitted before the red applied. Four coats of thinned red(just a little touch of yellow) left a lovely smooth finish to build a couple of gloss coats over with the hairy stick once decalled the third coat should really look the biz. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 That is looking the goods Steve I have a bunch of these lurking in the stash part started which one day may see the light of day again. I noticed the canopy rail was not painted first time around, do you have a special method to do this at a later date? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
