PHIL B Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Woohoo! Just saw this thread 5 minutes ago. Now my first one is on reservation at the Edmonton store. £18.99 plus paint, glue and a brush? Fantastic! Love the box too. So will little Johnny I guess. Can you imagine how many of those will sell at airshows, etc? Just thinking now; should I buy shares in Halfords for all those black Hawks people will be building... Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil, a quick question, may I assume that the black paint from Halfords is a gloss, but as I associate Halfords with cars and bikes, would anybody advise exactly what paint can I should be looking for in my local Halfords here in Ireland. They don't stock a great selection of non auto paint. Thanks David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FZ6 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Just been looking at the decal options available on Hannants site and there are too many to choose from which is always dangerous as it leads to more kit purchases. Did anyone notice that the instructions state that the Decals and Artwork in the kit were designed by Aviation Workshop / Model Alliance.

Neat comparison pics Mark. If you'd arranged the first one the other way round it would have made for a great forced perspective shot.

Wez Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I've just got back from Argos with the last kit in the shop! What a fabulous kit this is and such good value! Fantastic!!! All that red plastic though is extremely hard on the eyes though!!! Off to the big "H" now for some alternative markings... Wez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
593jones Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Don't do Hawk's (sorry!) but if anyone in South Yorkshire needs one (!), they have one left in Argos Extra, Barnsley Peel Retail Park. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheModeller Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Just got a text alert from Argos to say my ordered kit is already in and I can collect it today! It wasn't supposed to be available from them until Monday... Looks like a trip to town is called for this afternoon, also see if my local Modelzone has had any Airfix Spit XIIs delivered yet!

Shaun Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Just got back in a quick trip to town for my Hawk. Nice kit and the decals are very nice and thin, just a small question which may sound a little silly- Are there 14 aircraft assigned to the team?, are there allways a few in maintenance as the most I've ever seen in one hit are 11 aircraft?

Shaun. No, but they do rotate aircraft into and out of the team so I guess that there will easily have been 14 different airframes on the team during the last 30 odd years.

JJC Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Hi, what colour red do I need for a red arrows hawk? Preferably in humbrol numbers please! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Sorry, don't know about Humbrol, but Xtracolor (Hannants) do a Red Arrows Red in their range of enamels. It's X014 here. I hope that helps! If not Humbrol's Post Office Red, lightened slightly and brightened with a touch of Orange might just about get you there...
