murfv Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 I made a start on my hawk last night with the usual cockpit area(painted and decaled as per instructions) and found a couple of white metal seats to use instead of the kit ones(pics to follow) I was wondering if there were any pitfalls/issues I should be aware of with regard to this kit? Also how much weight, if any, is needed up front to avoid a tail sitter? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murfv Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 ..... and a late finisher. Missed the dead line on this one by a few hours(Sunday afternoon) & only got to take (really bad) pictures today. I will take a few better shots over the weekend. Anyway, here is XX255 The recent 1/72 Airfix Kit with decals from Modeldecal, Aeroclub white metal seats and I replaced the kit probe with a pin. I did the canopy in black and the windscreen in primer colour?? as per a photo I found on the web from sometime around 1998.XX255 74Sqn circa 1998 A nice kit which I will be doing again sometime in the not too distant future.
