Airfix Red Arrows Hawk 1/72

hi all thought i would post pics of my first attempt at a plane its the airfix 1/72 R.A.F. Red Arrows Hawk

i am a bit worried about posting my first plane although i am quite pleased about it so far.(although i think my airbrush just died it will only spray when i first pull operate it then it just sprays air till i release the button then when i press and pull back again there is an initial spray then just air.)


thats all i've got so far hope to do some more tomorrow.

Outstanding !!   :-* :-* :-*

As to your airbrush, I've had the same issue. You just need to pull it apart and clean it thoughly . The trouble is a paint particle blocking the flow. I've used a small brass pipe screen to strain my paint into the cup,to avoid this.

There is some good info on the Red Arrow Gnats over on the Airfix Tribute Forum. I recommend you look there.
