Joe's Revell 1/72 BAe Hawk T1 ETPS Raspberry Ripple

[flyjoe180]

Got there in the end, only three months and nearly three weeks overdue.


XX342, Empire Test Pilots School. 1/72 Revell Hawk T1 kit, a re-box of Italeri's kit and not the easiest of builds. I could have spent days more doing bits and pieces but to be honest it was quickly becoming more of a chore than fun. I'm looking forward to trying Airfix's versions of the Hawk in 1/72 later on. Decals are from Xtradecal's early Hawk Schemes sheet. Plenty more decals left, luckily I have a few Hawks lying around.


Anyway, here it is, as seen in the 1980s in all its Raspberry Ripple splendour. Build thread here: http://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/joes-raspberry-ripple-bae-hawk-etps.31267/page-2#post-323779

It may have been Late Joe but it's well worth the wait a cracking little build.

Great build Joe, thanks for taking part. It's interesting to compare the same scheme in different scales. I have loads of spare decals from my sheet too, maybe something for the future.

Thanks Rick. Also thanks for creating the build group. A Hawk fest later on maybe?

Whatever the problems in the build, this looks great, Joe. The paintwork is wonderfully precise - as it needs to be with these colours.

Thanks Doug. I won't be rushing into another Raspberry Ripple scheme for a while

Maybe a GB/SIG for next year?

Sounds like a plan Rick, I'd be keen. Will go for a simpler scheme though
