Revell 1:32 BAe Hawk T.Mk.1. (04284) RAF Benevolent Fund Display Hawk, XX307 No 208 (R) Squadron RAF Valley 2009. 2014#23 The Revell Red Arrows machine made as the RAF Benevolent Fund Display Hawk XX307 using the Xtradecal set X32-034. Brush painted with Humbrol enamels. Really impressed with the way the kit goes together, only encountered a couple of small issues with the undercarriage, firstly the U/C retractor was slightly too long. Secondly, there are door actuators which attach the doors to the main oleos, if making a wheels down version the longer of the two actuators should go on the front of the oleo wit the shorter one on the rear, I’m sure I followed the instructions but managed to put them on wrong. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

There is no way I would paint a model that size with brushes - you've achieved a great finish.

Just realised that is brush painted, excellent finish. Nigel, to paint a model this size with a brush is quite easy, all you need is the largest size flat that will fit in the tin/bottle and away you go. The paint must be thinned so it flows freely but not too thin and any imperfections can be lightly sanded off and touched up where necessary when completely dry. |
