Hi Mark,

just stumbled across your Hawk build thread and recognised the aircraft as one that we have at my local, Yeovilton, on a regular basis. However, upon looking in my photo database I found that in addition to numerous pics of it in black and Royal Navy markings I have this one taken at RAFA Woodford in 1993. The grey scheme Hawk was one of my favourites.



Great build.

Im getting there slowly. I should be up to scrath in a few days I was quite far on with it before the incident haha so should get some shots up soon Thanks for asking mate!

[Flyingmonster]

Stunning!

[benyboy]

Good to hear you are back on track
My progress will be even slower than usual tomorrow. `Black Ops` is out and nothing else in the world will exist

Ben

[Flyingmonster]

You and me both mate! Must admit im looking forward to it! Goodbye daylight for at least 2 days haha

[markmarples]

thanks for that, now i have 2 problems looking at that, 1 she has a different nose - i cant do anything about that and 2 buff pannels along the wing edges, i didnt think she had them

[markmarples]

bit of work done on the under cart




i think ive gone too far to add the buff pannels and is i know some did some didnt have them, and some were addes and taken away, i will go with modelers licence on this and say not this time!

Mark, the buff panels along the leading edge of the wings are strips of anti erosion tape, which resembles thick sellotape.
It is clear when applied but quickly weathers to the buff colour you can see in the photos.
One wing on your model obviously has newly applied tape!

[markmarples]

well spotted i didnt think anyone would notice the new tape

[markmarples]

shes ogt her legs on not much more now

[Flyingmonster]

Top notch mate!

[markmarples]

thanks mate


not long now im off tomorrow so dependant on what SWMBO has for me i should get her done

[markmarples]

she will be ready soon

[markmarples]

now in completed section

Well I have had this pic for a couple of days but was a bit about putting it on. I thought I could say I did it in the dark or even got a chimp to throw paint at it but you know what, I`m not realy bothered now. If posting my builds encourages other people to put theirs on and shows there is no `flaming` (so no flaming ) here then I`m happy with that

Thank you (again) to AviationAndy for the paint. I am having real trouble with it though Too thin, then too thick I have used Humbrol arylics here but have also had trouble recently with the Humbrol enamels.

Any way the pic -



I think I will have another go at the chipping to the ` experimental radar reflective paint` on the leading edge. Then some heavy weathering to the rest of the aircraft.
