I'm trying to finish a project that has been in the drawer of doom for a long time. Any thoughts on a scheme for a Sea Hawk? I'm inclined to go whiff with it if I can get something in the approximate time frame.

RAAF (so de-navalise it) SEA camo in Vietnam?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Or something African?... maybe a Giraffe-type scheme?

New Zealand, instead of the Skyhawk? SEA scheme (like the Strikemasters), maybe?

Cuba could also be an exotic option - the final deliveries (replacing the Furies) before the revolution broke loose.

Pakistan Air Force - defection from India or captured during the Indo-Pakistan wars?

Where could Britain sell them to?

Raspberry Ripple?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

French. After all the German's had them, so why not some pan-Europeanism circa 1957/59 ?  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Hawker Land Hawk.

Leave off the arrester hook and scour the spares box for WWII rockets, overwing drop tanks, etc.

+1 for Rattle can silver, dayglo orange and IAC celtic boss!
Cheers.
