Hi Gang,

Just to get the ball rolling from my end. I'm going for a TWU green/grey wraparound camo job but carrying a Sea Eagle missile, 190 gallon drop tanks and AIM-9Gs. The RAF loaned XX258 back to BAe in 1983 for use at the Paris Air Show in this guise.

Pics to follow.

Here's the starting point. The Sea Eagle and adaptor are from the Hasegawa SHAR1 courtesy of Troffa and the tanks are from an Airfix SHAR2.

Me too Mark. I just love the idea of a little Hawk carrying a big ol' missile along with huge drop tanks AND Sidewinders to boot!

I'm considering building it wheels up on some kind of stand in a banked pose to show off the ordnance.

Phil.
