Got started on this little one

The Sea Hawk is a good looking aircraft. You’re off to a fine start!

That looks sharp! Not too much more to do at this point.

Mark it is a really nice kit. But.....2 things

The canopy cannot be closed. Seat is way too high. I'm leaving mine open instead of carving the seat
The white on the roundel decals is very translucent. I used a the extra Indian Navy decals in the kit to double up fuselage roundel over stripes. Still can faintly see through. Speaking of decals. The Indian Navy version the word Indian is spelled wring
