Along with
Dynavector, Falcon of
New Zealand produce some of the finest vac-formed kits around and their kit of
the Hawker Seahawk is no exception. Well detailed fuselage/wings, cockpit
tub, and intake trunking are moulded in relatively thin plastic with white metal
undercarriage, ejection seat and tailhook parts. Two vac-formed canopies
and a reasonable decal sheet complete the components.

I separated the vac parts from the backing sheets and sanded them using
wet-n-dry paper over a glass sheet (in my case an old refrigerator shelf).
The parts fit together quite well but filler was needed around the joints.
Spares box plastic tubing was used to represent the jet exhausts.
