The colour of the plastic (and the resultant flash) aside, a really exceptional fine effort from Revell and the best fitting Hawk in 1:72 I have built.

Given the diesel pipes and oil tank were on a separate runner, I am hoping that other versions are in the pipeline as this model is the go to kit I would get in 1:72 in future.

So here are a few more shots of the finished article, it is brush painted with Humbrol 60 (Scarlet) acrylic paint from one of their small starter pots, detail painting was done with Humbrol Acrylics and Revell Aquacolor. Decals were applied with the aid of Humbrol decalfix and glossed using brush painted Humbrol Clear.

Can I recommend the kit? Absolutely, as stated above it’s the best 1:72 hawk I have built. Here’s hoping that if it re-issued in different schemes that a more natural colour plastic will be used.

Striking build, there, John!

Looks like the decals are opaque enough. I, always, worry about white decals over bright colors.

Well done! :clap:

That's a nice build, and I'd find it difficult to obtain a finish as good as that with brush painting!

I can only agree with the above comments, it is superb and it's always nice to see such a finish from the hairy stick.
