Hawk T Mk 1 ETPS - FINISHED, COMPLET, FINITO ...


Recommended Posts

Hopefully on the home straight.  Apologies for the very quick and dark shot, but just to show that this bird now has some legs; since the photo was taken I've added the wheels too.

Always a good feeling when you stand a new model on its undercarriage for the first time.

Oh dear, that's somewhat inconvenient.

To be honest, whilst that was the gist of what I said, it's not exactly what I said, let's just call it the publicly postable version.  Had a slight accident with a stray bit of masking tape, sticky side evidently guided by one of those workbench gremlins.  All the model needs is a final satin coat of varnish, the seats and canopy, and the various lights.  Now it's another session with some generic lettering ...

Back on track, and I think I have managed to improve the alignment a little.

A final sealing coat of satin varnish; seats; canopy; navigation and other lights; and she'll be done.  Getting close to the deadline, and a dead washing machine/tumble dryer to deal with this morning.  It will be finished for Scale Modelworld, and planning to put it on my club stand; we have a partial-stand theme of "film and TV", and this qualifies thanks to a 1986 BBC documentary Test Pilot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9knSaT_4Tw

And the Hawk is finished.  I'll do some proper photos shortly, but meanwhile here's some "quick 'n' dirty" tasters.

It's not turned out quite as well as I'd hoped, but it's not a bad "three-footer".  Thanks to one and all for all your support and encouragement, and for taking the time to click in and have a look.  I'm aiming to have it on the Milton Keynes stand at SMW.
