Templates have been cut and pieces rough cut. Now to figure out how to carve out that thick wing center section. I have the 1/48 Hawker Hunter and the 1/144 Banshees as guides.

My Sea Hawk has the wings are rough cut and the fuselage is close to contour shaping.

Roll out 22 Aug 2020. Home decals with Lifelike extra dark sea gray and Tamiya sky. A joy to build once I figure out how to do the wings.
