Jarda_Hajecek Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Dear LSP team. I am happy to present the latest finished model. Its the 1/32 Hawk Mk.1 of the Finnish Air Force. Kit: Revell Scale:1/32 Aftermarket: CMK Instrument panels, Quickboost Seats, Avalon Decals Paints: Ammo, Vallejo, Future Weathering: Flory Models Washes, Ammo Oilbrushers Base made by my friend. The kit has its issues however does fall together fairly well. Its Revell and its simplified in some areas but I believe the kit does capture the shapes of the real aircraft well. For those who wish to go to town on superdetailing this kit provides a good base. I used only instrument panels with coamings from CMK Quick and Easy line, and Quickboost seats. I have received the kit from my wife for Christmas couple years back so I wanted to build it. She loves colorful schemes that break up the grays in the display shelf (herself building a 1/48 Hellcat Drone) When a friend showed me the Avalon Decals sheet for Hawks from Finland I was sold. This one is ex-Swiss aircraft. All in all enjoyable mojo building experience and one kit finished. I saw a quote the other day on on forum that said the following: “The best thing on finishing a model, is the fact that without hesitation you can dive into your stash and start another one”. Happy modeling everyone. Cheers, Jarda Hajecek Edited October 26, 2020 by Jarda_Hajecek Name removal on request.

MikeC Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Superb and unusual. What a beautiful finish* in particular. I didn't even know Finland operated Hawks in that colour scheme.

dodgem37 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Great show. Great line-work. Beautiful cockpit. Did you produce the concrete pad or is it an after-market print? Thank you. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
