Background story :
In 1960, during the Dutch decolonization and planned independence of Western New Guinea, a territory which was also claimed by Indonesia, HNLMS Karel Doorman set sail along with two destroyers and a modified oil tanker to "show the flag". on Board HNLMS Karel Doorman there is 12 Hawker Sea Hawks were equipped with Sidewinder missiles that significantly enhanced and extended their air-to-air combat capabilities.
During Air Patrol in Western New Guinea, a pair Sea Hawk confront heavy, one plane manage to escape from the storm and the other lost his heading. when the storm calm, he realize not in western new guinea airspace any more and still figured out where his location. Suddenly a pair MIG-17PF intercept the lone Sea Hawk and make him force down at the Indonesian air base, because the Sea Hawk low on fuel the pilot comply to land his aircraft at Indonesian air base.
Sorry for the long background story.

I use Airfix 1/72 AW Sea Hawk for this GB.

little progress I make this day

maybe I will add a pair Sidewinder for this plane.

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! :)

but I will cover the MLD insignia with lighter color and cover it with Indonesian Insignia like the Tu-2 that we have from china
