From the basic Hawk, I scratch-built the following:   

  • -the nose.  From a 2-seater to a 1-seater (contoured with putty and molded into shape)

  • -the canopy. From the box and sawed in half and filed into shape. (I’ve yet to learn how   to scratchbuild a canopy).

  • -the antennae on the vertical fin  and strakes. Made from plastic strip and spares.

  • -fixed refueling probe. From stretched sprue and spares.   

The (incomplete) decals are from the box and Italeri’s 1/72 F5E plus a RMAF decal produced in Malaysia.
