Well I just learned something. Great idea Johnjeaton01 wrote:I just got through cutting open my tube of PPP and put it in paint bottles. Add a little water and it works great, much easier than squeezing it out of that stupid toothpaste tube.

I actually have an empty Solvaset bottle I could put mine in. Mine had dried out too, but if putting it in water again restores it, I'll give it another try.BlackSheep214 wrote:Now hey there.... what a great idea!! Now to find some sort of small bottle to put it in....

March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Man!!! Progress is looking good on this one Stuart. Great work on that canopy and all the sanding and filling. Gotta get back in here and start looking around more. Had alot going on as of late with ....well...let's see....our son is raising a pig for is FFA project, he's also in football, wife is now working full time.....and speaking of wife she now has Covid and we're all stuck at home in quarantine now. So far she's been doing really well with very few symptoms. Hoping things stay that way.
In any case I'll be following this one a little closer now. Awesome build so far buddy.

Sorry to hear about your Wife Joe - I hope she gets past it with a minimum of ill effects!
I've been making some progress with the paint. There're still a few coats to do and some tidy up (since done) but it'll be acceptable 3 footer when I'm done.

I agree John, it's always been one of my favourites - classic Hawker design.jkim wrote:Nice looking aircraft! The Hawk is a very clean design!

Re: Airfix 1/48 H.S. Hawk T.1
Well the painting is pretty much done - I've just got to tidy up a few bits (especially the canopy) and add some more paint to the wing tips. I'm liking how it's come out but man what a PITA scheme to paint!
It's not 100% but looks pretty good from a few feet!

Looks great to me!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Coming along nice.y Stuart! Red & white schemes are some of the hardest to do, since the white needs to look so pristine. It’s probably more of a challenge than bare metal.
