Shoggz Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I'm going to miss this build when it's complete - it's been fascinating and inspiring. Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archimedes Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 That is looking superb Derek. Well done - I agree with posters above: it is all of the attention to detail that really set this model apart. Wow! Kind regards, Paul Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor K2 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Hi Derek, looking every inch a master piece. Just one observation, the u/c door with the tele brief writing is showing the wrong symbol. You seem to have used the one for the ground power connection (same symbol as the other door). I am sure you will correct me but I am used to seeing a telephone symbol on other aircraft. Bob. Now into my 50th year working on aircraft. Same as the Hawk T Mk1 Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as the Hawk T Mk1 Hi Bob - thanks for your observation (and very kind words). You are, of course, correct. There are many errors on the Trumpeter decals, so at best, I would say that they are a very unhappy compromise. I did not pick up the error at the time, otherwise, I would have cut the electrical ground power symbol off the telebrief decal - I am unsure if I can now correct this, but I will see what can be done? Happy 50th anniversary to both you and the Hawk! (I am now back on Hawk since last November, but part time!).

Troy Molitor Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 That looks amazing. Wow. Thanks for sharing this journey with us Derek. Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 First round of wash completed (I have never fully applied a wash to a model before, and this is also the first time I have ever used a so-called 'sludge' wash before). Second round in progress. Derek BLACK MAMBA, Landrotten Highlander, geedubelyer and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 The subtlety of your wash looks excellent Derek. It's all too easy to give the model a plaid appearance but so far, so good. Working the colour into areas of heavier use only is the key to realism and it's obvious you're fully aware of that. What a splendid job this is. What I find particularly pleasing is your attention to all of the differing tones and colours that the full sized airframes exhibit. This underlines your intimate knowledge of your subject. Well done Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
