Dutch Seahawk

[novokits]

In mid summer I have begun building this Seahawk FGA.50 kit. Initially wanted to do MPM, however Hobbyboss seemed for me more preferable. Hasegawa AIM-9B Sidewinders with pylons from Special Hobby kit. Decals from same SH kit, but later I replace it to DutchDecal. It was the long history with breaks. I believe that photos are more informative, than text. I finished in early October.

















It became here clear: decal have big size, or Hobbyboss kit has a short tail part of fuselage... Letter "V" ( Valkenburg airbase) has been replaced on "D" ("Karel Doorman" aircraft carrier)



and finished kit

Looks good, Novokits. Strange that the decals are too big for the kit...

Very nice. Never knew they could be armed with Sidewinders.

Very nice. Never knew they could be armed with Sidewinders.

I think only the Dutch fitted them.


Great finish it looks great in those markings.

Well, Zambia had a space program, Mongolia has a ship registry, Czechs did have 2 aircraft carriers. That is the world I like. ...But seriously, lovely build Novo and these sidewinders do give a very unique look to this A/C. Always liked Seahawks, always liked Sidewinders, cannot go wrong with both of them

thanks once again!
