phantom Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Got to thinking. If I am building two 1/48 Hawks for someone else, with the same paint schemes I wanted to do anyway in 1/32.......then why not do the bunch together? So I prepainted all 4 kits, will build the 1/48 first. Then paint all together. Save some paint time and money this way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALF18 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 OMFG. You never fail to amaze me! Looking forward to seeing these 4 models progress. Good thing I'm on vacation - if I'm away from the computer for more than a few hours, I might miss a lot. ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Thanks, these guys are just at the pre-paint stage. Going to build up the 1/48 kits first. Then these. Then paint together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Cockpits started. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 The 1/32 are much better detailed, but surprisingly MUCH easier to build then the 1/48 kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 I should think it will be built up by tomorrow. Neat what happens when you can't go to work with a minor head cold. I built it thus far according to instructions. Even though I admit it might have been easier NOT putting on the landing gear at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trojan Thunder Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I skipped over this thread when you were building these Hawks Shawn. Nice work on them all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Thanks, I kept the 1/32 scale ones. The 1/48 went to a customer a while back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
