This is for the 1st Generation Jet Cook Up.

All the relevant bits have been cut out. I have worked out a method for doing the wings, intakes and exhausts .

Fin/rudder and stabiliser have been sanded to shape and notched. Bullet fairing turned up on a drill from a piece of Bamboo Chop stick.

Pictures to follow.

I eagerly look forward to your Sea Hawk. It and other of that time frame inspired me to seek an air force career and continue to fire my passion for aircraft.

PS Will you be doing a clear canopy for this one.

Lou,

I have always liked the Sea Hawk and as you say some of the others of that time frame.

Must be the lines of it. It just looks right.

I have a vague memory of making the frog/novo model when I was a lad.

Tried for an Air Force apprenticeship but that was when I found out I was colour blind. Can't differentiate the dominant hue .

I will do the clear canopy .

Cheers

Gordon

Managed a bit of time on the Sea Hawk.

Bit rough ( at this stage )but it looks like a Sea Hawk.

Gordon

There be a Sea Hawk here!

Lou

Wow. It looks a bit like the Banshee with the inboard root mounted engines. Looking forward to further pictures.

Wings attached. More work required on inlets and exhausts. Tailplane is complete but not attached to model.

Pictures to follow.

Where the Sea Hawk is at.

Cheers

Gordon

This will be a great addition to your collection.

Lou

Some primer applied. Still some work required on inlets and exhausts. Deciding how to best and easily do the inlet vanes.

Cheers

Gordon

You capture the graceful look of the Sea Hawk.

Lou

It does have pleasing lines.

Have located the vac canopy . So its the exhausts /inlets and then some  surgery on the front end.

Pushing along slowly.

Gordon

More work required on exhausts. Two 1/72 volunteers selected from the pool of Zulu War soldiers.

Bit hesitant about being separated from their Martini Henry's

Gordon

The exhausts are finished. Just need to add jet pipes ( rolled PVA paper).

Inlet vanes added ( PVA/Paper).

Gun ports done with small round file.

Cockpit started.

Gordon

Looks very promising Gordon, but then all your projects are well done.
