The cockpit and seats look good.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Re: Brickie's Display Hawk
The Hawk is a real looker IMHO and this is shaping up rather nicely. I agree with the use of red plastic, it is a total bind and in fact I don't like any strongly coloured plastic (including white which is my pet hate with airliner kits) and wish manufacturers would just stick to a nice neutral grey 
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

A couple of passes with a Humbrol rattlecan of Gloss Black gives us this
And up on its legs and ready to start the slightly terrifying decalling process...

Re: Brickie's Display Hawk
Great work, looking a bit inspirational too, I usually just do ww2 aircraft but I think I may just try something a bit newer once I finish my Mosquito (Tamiya 1/72)

Re: Brickie's Display Hawk
Scared me -- not being familiar with the 2009 scheme, I thought your decals had shattered 
Happy to see that's what they are supposed to be, and it looks very good - congratulations !!

Re: Brickie's Display Hawk
Wow. Like John I thought the decals had been compromised but now I'm wiser that's a very fine piece of modelling. Well done.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto
