So why might you think i need these two kits ? Why would they go together ?  ;)





Now considering this will also be my first Vacform kit... (Although not my first multi material kit)

...Am i mad ?

I would say as long as you realize its a challenge you are ok. I would be worried if you said "hey no problem!"  ;D

Here are some tips on Vacuform kits:

after that I would just say have a solid plan (and be ready to adjust it!)

Cheers for the advice folks :)

Two questions for debate though... What paint scheme ? And What should i call it ?

The Hawker what ?  :)

  • He sees things in double...
  • twin-boom & asymmetric fan
    • my models
The "Hawker What Mk.1" sounds good (from a foreign point of view) ;)

  • Its about time there was an Avatar shown here...
  • Über Engineer...at least that is what he tells us.
I've heard that, if it had gone into production, the P.1121 was to have re-cycled the name "Hurricane".  Since you're using parts from a "Typhoon", it seems doubly appropriate here.
