Title: New Hawker
Post by: Warren Walker on April 04, 2025, 04:13:25 PM

Finally finished after way too long.
1) RSM kit
2) Randy Smith Tigre 60
3) acrylic lacquer Paint With urethane clear
4) 308 shell casing filled with old friends ashes in the back seat.

It looks like very little trimming will be needed and im very happy so far.

 Looks great, and a really nice tribute with your buddy flying along. It's gonna be a monster with an ST.60, hold on!  :)

Very nice! I'm glad it is trimming out well. Look forward to seeing it fly.

I’ve seen the plane and watched Warren fly it. It’s as good as it looks in the photos.

   Hi Warren!
 Is the color scheme a replica of one of Whitely's models? I keep thinking I have seen some one post a photos of one of his from back in the day  elsewhere, probably on FB.. He and  Roy DeCamera were at the Paducah contest one year, and RJ was flying a Hawker Hunter with a ST.60 in the nose, but I can't remember if this was the color scheme??  I might have taken photos but would have to dig them out.
  Type at you later,

You probably saw pictures of my first version of this model. Bob never used that scheme as far as I know.
This is a copy of a Swiss Air Force Hawker from the 70s, I found it in a book of Hawkers from around the world.
Bob really liked my rendition of his great model and I wish he was still with us to see it. I miss him so much.
