Beautiful hawk! Love that scheme.

I've got a few of these kits on the way from luckymodel. Are the kit seats ok? Or would resin ones be better?

Edit: Cos the ones in your build look great to me!

Nicely done Mark.....I'd maybe suggest a coat or two of matt varnish to tone the glossiness down a bit, but other than that - yeah, nice!!

If you're spraying I'd recommend Revell's Aqua Matt. You only need a drop or two well mixed up of course in ordinary tap water. Mist it on, it works really well ...

Never give up Mark!!! Revell's Aqua is a piece of cake.......just need water and spray at a low, low pressure! Of course they started off satin, but matted down - an awful lot!!
