Dickw Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 The Hawks I saw when driving past Valley looked black to me. Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Clark 1 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 The jets at Valley are all Hawk T2s now but the odd T1 still goes in since Valley remains the maintenance hub for Hawk for the others at Scamton, leeming and Culdrose. The current T2 squadrons are 4 and 25 squadrons. T1 squadrons are 100 and 736 NAS. Lots of 1 off T1 paint schemes over the years but that's the squadrons if you want to copy a current one.

Rocker Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 Looks good .What type of paint did you use .Just wonder if the Humber paint you use to paint the Airfix kits would be OK ? Edited By Rocker on 11/06/2020 21:46:13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callsign Tarnish Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I wouldn't use humbrol, it may attack the foam. I used Vallejo paint and an airbrush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
