Morning everyone,
Another pair of 1:72 Hawks for my Chivenor collection, this time two 63 Squadron machines.
Both were airbrushed, (first time using proper airbrush) and have Master pitot tubes, and were finished with Xtradecal markings/numbers/letters, which was particularly challenging with the tiny reg serials on the grey one!!
Have bought some canopy masks to try on next ones to see if that improves things in that area!!!
First up is XX248 in camo scheme. This is a standard Airfix Red Arrows kit, was half built and half painted as a red arrow when given to me, so camo seemed a good idea to try and cover the red!!!

Next is XX254 finished in Air Defence grey. This is the latest Airfix Hawk kit, which still has some of the flaws, biggest annoyance is the 151 SQN jet they give you the decals for never made it to T.1A standard, being written off before the upgrades began!!!
