Thanks Paul. Yes I've been trying to find these Hawk kits for years, simple but effective kits.My only difficult part of the build is that the bodies of the Hawks come in two halves, a top and a bottom! Do you paint them after making sure that they fit together or paint first? In both caese I've grasped the nettle and painted first! My best bit is seeing the manufacturing date on the underside of the roof....................  Thinking that they were produced in 1965 and both are in superb condition prior to the build is exceptional! |

These are really cool! I’ve never done one of these kits but I’d like to! Nice job Pat! I like the wood grain on the one especially!

Thanks guys, I used my home printed woodgrain decals on the first two so on this one (red) I carefully followed the pattern of the plastic moulding with a draughtsman's pen.

I believe Atlantis Models has many of the molds from when Testers tied in with Monogram / Revell |

Thanks Paul, they are great to build. If Atlantis would care I'd like to see some 'new' ones if they dare to make them!

Cheers Bob. Hawk kits to us in the UK, who never got them when they first produced are very cool!
