Hawk 75
1May 1, 2020So far so good
2May 5, 2020Engine needs some help to fit where it should
3May 5, 2020Cockpit washing done, ready to close the fuselage
4May 5, 2020Behold the fit!
5May 5, 2020Fit is slightly better on top.
6May 5, 2020Top wings required sanding to look acceptable. The trailing edge still waiting for more sanding.
7May 15, 2020The fit is challenging sometimes, to say the least. Luckily the exhausts will cover it a bit.
8May 15, 2020Symmetry is not the strong side of this tooling. I don't hink I'd correct it - afraid to screw up the whole fuselage.
9May 16, 2020The seam disappeared, time for rescribing.
10May 16, 2020Exhausts cover the most of the biggest fit issue in the kit.
11May 16, 2020Primed...
12May 16, 2020... and ready for some rescribing.
13May 19, 2020Checking the fit here and there...
14May 19, 2020One of the most spectacular fit examples 🙂
15May 19, 2020Even the box has errors - the cowling is camouflaged too, see the album cover for comparison.

18June 25, 2020Wrong focus - wanted to show you the hand made gun barrels 🙂
19June 25, 2020Too dirty, too much smoke during postshading
20June 25, 2020Brightened a bit, but I'm gonna leave it in order to avoid more damage 🙁
