This reminds me of a giant scale RC one I saw in the UK ..yours looks extremely close ..least yours didn't cost 20k £ to build  ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

I have to admit to being a bit underwhelmed by this one.  Dunno if the demarcation line is TOO low or what it is but it's just not what I had in my head when I started

Not 100% finished as the HB kit comes with the MK.10B seats fitted early on in the Hawk with the big, wide headbox.  These were all replaced with the narrower headbox Mk.10 seats we see in so many aircraft of the era.  I need to get appropriate seats.  I'm not loving the model enough to splash out for resin seats so I'll likely be raiding the stash.  I have an old Monogram F/A-18 and Mirage 2000, both of which come with Monogram's very serviceable Mk.10 seat.  But that will have to wait as I'm just nit inspired enough by this build at the moment.  Once seats are in it will be an open canopy display with better "finished" pics at that time. 

So I got that going for me...which is nice....

If the vibe ain't there. We do not care
Got extremely close on that Leo1  build too.
I was glad to have it finished because I wasn't feeling it for quite some time.
It turned out ok and I'm not unhappy with it but even now it still isn't really rocking my boat.
