As some of us know soon scotland will be voting on independance... Now weather or not this is a good or bad idea, If they do they'll need their own airforce... It would have to be cheap and flexible so... Without further ado I present the Bae/Scottish Aviation Hawk FGR1 in temporary "Winter Splinter" camoflage...
Originally a Hawk T1 when bought second hand by the scottish government "Scottish Aviation" got to work modifying the airframes for their specific use, in particular removing the rear cockpit and replacing the space with added avionics for foul weather use bringing the old airframes up to the task of intercepting potential targets in rain snow or the dark...
Starting off as a old mould Airfix Red Arrow it was soon obvious that this kit was a dog, during construction there was not one seam that was not liberally covered in filler and sanded back to shape... Therefore instant whiff fodder...
Eventually it became Hawk shaped if lacking any detail... Never mind i had a plan for a wild scheme that would hide any detail anyway..
I cut as many spiky shapes as i could from a section of frisket, just randomly cutting with a fresh no 10 blade... Undercoated in black, Applied one layer of frisket, Coated Grey, Another layer of frisket and finished off with the white... All Rattle cans because again i wanted maximum impact with miniumum effort...
It was then rattlecanned with gloss varnish before the decals then matted down with citidel Purity seal
Sidewinders and decals came from the bits box and were added to the kits own tanks and aden cannon
Hope you like
