nice clean build, Paul.

Good to see you're building and posting.

Cheers, guys.

I usually seal them with matt varnish, but haven't got around to it yet, so I'm being careful handling it.... Just a light coat, as they seem to disappear if the coat is too heavy.

Stunning result, Paul!
The old kit could not have been more of a head-turner.

cheers,

Been a while. My bench has mostly been occupied by Sea Furies for the book and review kits.

Here are two reviews I completed last week - the Revell 1/72 'Red Arrows' Hawk and the Fly Models 1/72 Bf108. I found the Hawk rather indifferent, the '108 is quite nice. Reviews to appear in SAMI in the next couple of months.

Very Nice Paul!

What was wrong with the Hawk?

Cheers, guys.

Stu, sorry for the teaser, but you'll have to wait for the review in the mag. I was generally unhappy with many aspects of the kit; some were personal preferences to be sure, but others are more general.

A fine looking pair Paul, both types are favourites of mine. BTW I very much enjoyed your build of Kitty Hawk's UH-1Y Huey that was featured in this month's SAMI together with your excellent photos of the real thing. Top stuff 8-)

Nice builds Paul. I think the Hawk kit has been around for a while now. Ex Italeri perhaps?
