Hawker Siddeley HS 748


Recommended Posts

Sorry for this unsolicited email but I am hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. I just inherited a one-of-kind manufacturers model of a Hawker Siddeley HS 748 painted in the colors of Bahamasair. My father worked there in 70’s. It has been on a real journey to get to me and I am hoping to find someone qualified to restore it? Anyone know of a source for this kind of project? The model has a lot of meaning to my family and I don’t want to mess it up.

Mike West of Lone Star Models used to offer this service - I think he's been a professional modeler most of this life. But it seems his shop is closed at the moment, for personal reasons:

Pat Hawkey is probably be another option:

Just curious: what needs to be done? I see some damage on the lower side of the nose, but otherwise the model seems fine.
