Global Scale Modeller

my build of the Hasegawa E2 Hawkeye

cockpit built

going together really well so far
needed 30g of weight up front
did you k ow a British penny weight 3.6g?
more soon

some progress on the Hawkeye

added the cockpit glazing, flaps and props
really nice model

Looking good so far mate. I've done this one, really nice, one of my favorite builds. Looking forward to seeing it finished. Good luck with the rest of it

tonight's update
added undercarriage and built radar dome

really enjoying this build, Hasegawa are such good models

tonights update, wheels on and top of radar dome added, letting dry nearly ready for paint

and next to a red arrows Gnat T1

been in the spray booth
Hawkeye sprayed Hu127 Ghost Grey

looks pretty good :thumb: even if I do say so myself

Started the decal marathon on the Hawkeye

I really like the US carrier aircraft, lots of colour (or is it color) and types
hope you like the progress, thanks for looking

Looks great, I love the older USN schemes with the bright colours, adds a bit more interest than the lo-vis stuff.

Hawkeye update, just a few more decals to go then a coat of clear

amazing how the decals transform the model

Nice looking build.

great work

Well done, that looks great

Mark

Graham how did the decals behave and what decal softeners did you use

mick

decals were good but very thin, managed to rip some of the larger ones
I use microsol and microset solutions which work well
thanks for the kind comments
I have really enjoyed this build, should finish it soon

great job
