    Wow ! If I didn't know better... This could pass as a real landing light. Your attention to the little details like this never cease to amaze me... This one should be done fairly soon by the looks of things. Keep it coming my friend.

    Well the undercarriage was on till I broke them off doing a mod' I should have done earlier, should be OK with some brass pins fitted also some damage to the top of the wings !

    That sounds like one of my normal builds... It happens to all of us sooner or later. But it also looks like you have it well underway as far as the repair. The brass pins will be stronger than it ever was before.

    Good save Allan. And the jet is looking super ! That shiny red one sitting next to it is an eye catcher too !

    This is another fine build, Allan. I've been been neglecting checking out the groups of late, I'm missing a lot.

    Fantastic work on your Hawk Allan. I like the colour scheme on this one. The Hawk offers a lot of possible variations to build.

    Detail bits on with Future and then some touch up with Vallejo matt varnish, can still have a bit of weathering and tanks and missiles added but I will call this finished for now ! meeoooww !
