Airfix 1/72 Scale RAF Red Arrows Hawk (Best Of British Starter Set Part Two)

In late 1979 the legendary aerobatic team, The Red Arrows retired its fleet of Folland Gant T.1 aircraft. The reliable jet trainer that had been flown by the Red Arrows. Since the formation of the aerobatic team in 1964. Its replacement the BAE Hawk T.1 much like its predecessor would continue to amaze audiences around the world.
For almost 45 years the BAE Hawk continues to be flown by the Red Arrows. And it is fitting that Airfix has made a 1/72 scale starter set of The Red Arrows BAE Hawk T.1. Or to be more specific as a part of the Best Of British Starter Set. Which came with the of the Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc Starter Set.
However, all of the include Humbrol paint pots in this starter set were bone dry. So instead, I used my stock pile of Vallejo Acrylic model paints as a replacement. Even with this minor setback, I was still able to make a nice model out of the kit.
In the second part of this two-part build video. Join me as I make the Airfix Red Arrows BAE Hawk Starter Set. The first part of the video covers the build of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc Starter Set. Which you can also view on the channel. Until next time good luck with all your ongoing scale modelling projects. And as always thank you for watching this video.

Hi everyone here is the link to the Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vc video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anyreIttoqZsetk Unfortunately, all the include Humbrol paint pots in this starter set were bone dry. So instead, I used my stock pile of Vallejo Acrylic model paints as a replacement. Even with this minor setback, I was still able to make a nice model out of the kit. In the meantime, please make sure to check out the first part of the video following the link above. Until next time good luck with all your ongoing scale modelling projects. And as always thank you for both watching this video. And the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc build video too.

Beautiful job as always my friend!

[@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels]

Thank You I'm glad you liked it

[@ModelMinutes]

looks great! That red paint is really hard to use and I think you did a good job!

[@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels]

Thank You Matt, glad that you liked it. Also, I am very happy to hear that you loved the red paint work on this model too.

[@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels]

Thank You :)

Not using airbrush or spray can even once throughout the video? What side of KZbin I'm on 🙃 Looks great and has dare I say "old timey" look to it, like that too.

I know it's a starter kit but why did Airfix leave out the under fuselage winglets? Well tidy build though.

[@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels]

Good question Kenneth, one can only speculate why that detail is missing. It is not like that is a very small part. That would be hard for a first timer to attach to the model. Anyway, thanks for watching!

how do you calculate resize the print out for the underside?

[@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels]

I didn't need to calculate the size for the print. Luckly Airfix always list model's final size (both length and wingspan) on the box. Which saved me a great deal of time, trying to measure the model.
