This one is likely to be a quick little build. It's basically the companion piece to the Puss Moth, so I felt like I couldn't really build one without the other. Erik is right though, the kit is of an impressive vintage. It is indeed a few years older than I am, and has the flash to prove it. 🙂
Anyway, thanks for joining, there's plenty of seats available, so no shoving. 😉

You say that now... but wait till you see how much putty and sanding is required~

Well, it's supposed to be a Hawker Hart apparently... but the Hawker Demon is close enough... I mean, it's not like it's a Spitfire. 😉

Good enough for me - I'm arguably one of the least rivet-counting persons in here... just asking/checking... 😉

And only a masochist with ADHD would consider trying to convert it back to a Hart like the original 1957 tool... 🤪

What did you call me? 😉
I mean, besides the dip between the two cockpits... are there any other differences? They look quite similar to me...

Well, the "dip between the two cockpits" is the main difference I was referring to above... Plus, you'll have to skip the Demon's long exhausts, I guess...

Not exactly sure what picture to take to update my progress… I'm working on bits of everything all at once!

The main difference between a Demon and a Hart is the exhausts, the turret and the starboard machine gun. Will send a PM

IF however (regardless of how a real Hart should be) what is shown in the comic ("That's what I call" etc frame) is indeed a starboard mg (please correct me if I'm wrong...) then starting with a Demon kit was perhaps indeed a better idea than starting with a Hart kit.... IF this is the case... then you'll only have to deal with the rear seat/turret thing and the free (ala Fury) exhausts, no?

Yeah. I think so. Matthew provided some detailed comparison images but after looking at them and at the main page from the album... it seems to be a little bit of both...

In Tintin in the Land of the Black Gold it could be a Hawker Hardy

A couple of updates. The supports next to the fuselage were so weak that 3/4 of them snapped even before I got them off the sprue. So instead I just used some bent wire. The holes they are meant to slot into were gaping caverns as well, so a fair amount of putty was needed to make it at least slightly better. Now I'm left with a decision to make. The Hawker Demon has two large exhaust tubes that run from the engine down the sides. They're not present in the Tintin album (which most closely resembles a Hawker Heart I believe). So... do I leave the two side holes and the large trenches on either side of the engine cowling, or do I just shrug my shoulders and use the parts that came in the box?
The Blue Rider decals went on easily enough. They're a bit shiny, but I think I can deal with that.

Thanks Matthew. I'm quite pleased with how the colouring came out too. A 2:1 ratio of Tamiya Buff (XF-57) and Khaki (XF-49) seems to have done the trick... or at least close enough for me.

I just noticed the artwork has actual rigging on it, so it looks like I'm not quite as done as I thought. Besides that, only a few nice white fluffy clouds needed for the base.

Okay I was afraid it was a cry for help and we are pushing YOUR limits with the crap you have to deal with every day 😄😄
