Progress on a 72 scale Academy kit, which started life over in Box Hill, but ended up at my place about 4 years ago {as a partly built subject}, Ian Smith saw "Sea Hawk" {on an AM decal sheet}, of an RAAF ASR W.W. II subject and asked if it could be done in time, Intermediate Blue is from the Gunze lacquer range, the Black is from Vallego.
Gunze Flat Black added to the under surface of the main wings and taiplanes, to replicate faded paint on canvas, upper surface painted in the Gunze Blue / Grey, ready now for the clear top coat and decals.
Note:- The eyeball nose turret has now been removed and replaced with the standard turret.
