Tony Prince took the 50-odd years old Hawk kit as the basis for a major rework - with superb results!

Wow! Talk about taking a sow's ear and making a silk purse! Words fail me. Super build and a job VERY well done. Good show, Tony. All the best.
Happy Gluing, JT

Hi Tony,

Outstanding! This demonstrates what a little (OK, a lot!) TLC can do with an old model.

Hope to see more of your work!

Good Job. I finished the old ('72?) 1/72 MPC Banshee a few months ago. The old kits do have their appeal.
