Decals, PE, and film. OK, now it is obvious why this is in my collection!

SeaHawkxDetail01.jpg

Canopy is clear and free of distortion...

SeaHawkxDetail02.jpg

Nicely recessed details...

SeaHawkxDetail03.jpg

Some sanding of the mating surfaces is in order here to avoid too much filling...

SeaHawkxDetail04.jpg

The panel that ends under the canopy fairing is not correct...

SeaHawkxDetail05.jpg

Gun troughs need drilling out...

SeaHawkxDetail07.jpg

The panels crossed over so there is a need to fill lines... especially at the fasteners.

SeaHawkxDetail08.jpg

Main gear bay...

SeaHawkxDetail06.jpg

Main gear bay has some detail molded in...

SeaHawkxDetail09.jpg

Wing fold rib details...

SeaHawkxDetail10.jpg

Cockpit detail is passable since it is black and seen through a rather small canopy.

Some flash is evident here...

Fit is good but care is needed. Details are nice but plenty for someone to tweak. CMK and Aires both have resin detail sets as does Eduard with their PE.
 
Nice review Saul, gotta say I've never seen this aircraft before. Interesting scheme though. :thumbups
 
It would look cool in Suez stripes. From the pics though the kit looks kind of 70's in detail. Not much and thick. Whats your take Saul?
