Greetings from Scotland. This
is my first submission to ARC so please excuse the faults. The kit is a
standard Airfix BAe Hawk in 1/72nd scale built out of the box with aftermarket
decals (Model Alliance) for the dragon hawk of RAF St Athan in 2000/ 2001.
The kit went together with no major problems other than my inability to
spray gloss black Humbrol enamel paint without it ending up streaky.
In the end I painted it matt black and used several coats of gloss varnish to
get the high gloss finish. The decals were superb to use; fine with high
colour density and good instructions. No
weathering was applied as the Hawk is from the RAF maintenance unit so was
probably
well maintained.
Now, if I can just work up the courage to do another in the raspberry ripple
scheme for the black dragon decal that comes on the same sheet...
Alan
