continuing on from the Skyraider i did, im doing another for the Atlantis Group Build im involved in elsewhere
In 1982 the Atlantian Air Force upgraded its fast jet training aircraft by purchasing 24 Hawks to replace its tired and aging Fouga Magisters. This equipped 2 squadrons that comprised the training wing. one squadron would focus on basic fast jet flying whilst the other was advanced/weapons delivery whilst having a secondary role as ground attack
it wasnt long before the idea of a display team was mooted and 5 aircraft (4 for display and 1 spare) were repainted. The display pilots were drawn from the 2 squadrons and the team named 'The Blue Dolphins' after the numerous dolphins that swim in the sea around the Island. Aircraft would still be used for their normal role when not engaged in display duties
this is the kit im using.
picked it up for next to nothing in a deal on fleabay, never had any intentions to do it in any scheme that comes with the kit, it was always going to get whiffed but never had any ideas until now
