Also this build is great, Phillip.
Nice to see this combination of painting techniques, spray can, brush and airbrush on one scheme.

Another nice Hawk, and those markings are also cool – I hadn’t seen those before, and the colors are quite interesting!

Many thanks.
Also note that on the tail one side had the Zimbabwe flag and the other the Zimbabwe bird.
When they first came to Zimbabwe they had the Zimbabwe bird markings on both sides of the tail and the serial number, but no roundels. The Roundels came into use at a later date.
