Deacon Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) My next build for this GB is hopefully another straight forward kit from Airfix. It will be made up as a No 100 Squadron Hawk which attended RIAT in 1997. Deacon Edited May 5, 2011 by Deacon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2qwik4u Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I built one of these. Awesome little kit. The only issues I had were the bottom wing half and the exhaust. The exhaust pipe looked terrible in mine, I ended up putting an acrylic rod in there for an inflight display, otherwise I would just replace it with a brass or aluminum tube. The only issue I had with the bottom wing half was the thickness. I had to tape a piece of sandpaper to my work top and sand it a little thinner so that it would fit nicely with the bottom of the fuselage. Good luck! -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
