Hi Finn, I tend to work on 3 to 4 projects at a time, today I worked on the Spaceship from The Invaders, but should get back to the Hawk next week.
I am hoping to do the Orange version. As I did the white one with the Airfix version.

Steve Zodiac Forfatter
Today been a masking day. 😀

Steve Zodiac Forfatter
On goes the orange 😀

Steve Zodiac Forfatter
Unmasking, so far so good 😀

Steve Zodiac Forfatter
All spray painting now finished. 😀

Villiers de Vos
Very nice clean masking. The orange is very potent.

Steve Zodiac Forfatter
First some hand painting
Second dry fitting
Third start glueing
The sub sections are getting bigger 😀

Steve Zodiac Forfatter
Mostly a prep day
Little bit of hand painting followed by glueing
But most a spray gloss varnish day ready for decals and weathering. 😀

Steve Zodiac Forfatter
Today a decal day, added 32 decals which is about 1/3. 😀

Steve Zodiac Forfatter
Start of day 2 😀

Steve Zodiac Forfatter
Calling it a day
About 2/3 of decals now added and a little dry fit to see how she looks.
Happy with progress today. 😀

Steve Zodiac Forfatter
Day 3 Just under 100 decals later and decaling finished.😀😀😀
Next some hand painting and maybe some construction. 🤔

Steve Zodiac Forfatter
Last of the spraying and a couple decals
Next weathering, I prefer pencils to a pin wash, yes a pin wash brings out details, but I find it to heavy unless I am doing ground vehicles.
But it is only a personal preference, there are no rules on how you do your model. 😀

Steve Zodiac Forfatter
All pencil work done assembled, but for main engine
Next spray Satin Matt Varnish. Add engine then it's finished. 😀

Steve Zodiac Forfatter
Satin Matt Varnish sprayed, just waiting for it to dry before final Assembly 😀

Now completed and I must say its a very good kit. Nice easy to follow instructions. I made this as a straight out the box version so as to compare with the original Airfix version I built. Both are very good kits, easy to construct and you get a nice model at the end. The MPC/ Round2 version is a lot more accurate. 😀

A beautiful result. I am a big fan of the first season series on television.

Now on display at my local model shop for 3 months along with the original Airfix version. Anyone around Bearwood Birmingham UK can see them in the window of Mr Models 😀
