Fleet Air Arm GB - 1:72 Seahawk FGA.6 ++FINISHED++ SAVED!

[Deacon]

I'm not sure I'll get this finished in time.

I have been waiting for the Hobby Boss Seahawk to be delivered to my local shop for three weeks.

I have made the Airfix 1:72 version for my dad and the 1:48 Trumpeter Kriegsmarine version, but when Hobby Boss announced they
were releasing a kit, I wanted this to add to my 1:72 Brit collection.

So, here is the box shot and I need to get cracking.



Cheers

Usual sluggish pace then...

Looking cracking!

[Deacon]

Thanks Craig.

Here is the finished build, 40 mins before the deadline.



And an extra photo showing the 1:48 Seahawk in German markings



This is a great kit and I am really pleased to have a 1:72 Brit Seahawk in my collection.

Thanks for looking.

Snuck in out of nowhere.... Great job! This looks like an interesting kit to build one of these days.

Hmm not bad, but I would strip off the registrations on the top of the wings if you can, it's a mistake in the
decal placement pictures.

How stupid of me! I've seen so many photos of the Seahawk and yet it didn't occur to me the decals were wrong.

The kit has had it's sealing coat of Klear, but I can't leave this like it is. So, here goes..............

Thanks for the shout.

[Deacon]

Well, the experiment paid off, just.
