BradG Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 This is the old Hawk kit, in the Testors box with new decals. For a 1/48 kit it's pretty small. Detail is pretty much non existent, there is literally no interior to speak of except for a pilot figure holding a control column, but I have omitted him. The outline of the colour scheme is also engraved into the surface of the kit, so it's all been either masked and sprayed, or painted freehand. I knocked up a small base for it to sit on out of a picture frame and some floch. MikeMaben, Gazzas, Hubert Boillot and 3 others 6
Hubert Boillot Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) One of the ancestors of plastic kits, but still a lovely result for something of its age. It really holds well the passing of time, thanks also to your skills, Brad. Hubert Edited May 26, 2018 by MostlyRacers BradG 1
BradG Posted May 26, 2018 Author Posted May 26, 2018 What did you use for the rigging? Some very fine knitting elastic I pinched from mums sewing box. I drilled .2mm holes and threaded it through.
Guest Peterpools Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 Brad Beautiful build and the gloss finish is top notch. :thumbsup: Peter
DerekB Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Lovely work Brad! I love those golden-age racers. I built the same kit as a teenager, but didn't have the patience to paint the thing! BradG 1
