1/32 New Scheme RAAF Hawk 127 LIF

[AndrewDoppel]

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?

[AndrewDoppel]

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.
