These Monogram molds were made in the 1960s and the kits were distributed until 1975....and still available in quantity on EBay....the decals are still current in the Starfighter catalog...as of 2022/7

Looking so good, Lochsa! 👍
I have the same resin set for this kit and it's good to know that it does its job well.

I had to make a series of notes about the painting sequence...it actually is complex with the special graphics up front...here goes....
....white accents...mask...yellow wings and tail...mask...olive green fuselage color....mask....remask white accents...black accent up front...phew....take deep breath and remove masks

Wire rigging underway...I like these PE wire sets but if they get even little bit bent...they are all but impossible to fix...not an issue with easy line or heavier wire...

Hawk V 1.5.....wingtip position lights, better (not great) strut connections and replaced antenna with line into the fuselage....enough that an entire new series of photos will be taken...i just can't leave this little guy alone...

....a bit of checking revealed the prop was painted the wrong color..should be silver and maroon on the back with decals on the front, but no tri-color tips...
...so, a new prop will be painted and decaled....

Brave you! I usually make more damage than before trying to correct completed builds 🙂

this is my strange way of checking the builds...look at the photos..i always see things that got missed with the naked eye...in the end, it usually helps...this Hawk, though, has gone through some real updating...

Nicely done!! I did the Accurate Miniatures boxing of the F4B-4 and P-6E as my return to plastic modeling - these are not easy! You did a great job with the PE rigging, I had a hard time with mine.
