For the past 3 days I've been having issues trying to get these on here but it seems as though a Microsoft update was the cause. Anyway, besides a couple of minor touch ups still to be done this is completed;

Serial: A27-12
Type: BAe Hawk 127 LIF
Based: Between 76 Squadron Williamtown, NSW and 79 Squadron Pearce, WA (circa 2014)
Kit: 1/32 Kinetic with Kinetic RAAF upgrade PE. Basically OOB with kit decals except for the tail flashes which are stencilled, the 79 Squadron centre piece which I printed at home on white decals paper and the white 12s from the spares box. Painted with Humbrol Enamels 16118 and 16375.
Reference: ADF Serials, Motty and Mark Jessop images both on FB and Internet.

And with its older and dirtier brother

What scheme looks best? I think the new one.

Nice job, I think the new scheme doesn't weather as badly which makes it look better for now.
Whose decals?
I think the red stripe looks a little dark, but maybe just the photo

Is the other model from the Kinetic kit as well or is it modified Revell?

Thanks guys. They're both Kinetic kits with the tail flashes painted on. This is the closest I could get to the real colours.

I like both of them A2, a couple of very nice Hawks. I'd be chuffed to have them on my shelves.

Cheers
