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...
7 May, 17:57
![](/profiles/img/44957-709-s.jpg)
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

![](/profiles/img/44957-709-s.jpg)
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.

Welcome Torsten & Robert!
I've started the fuselage assembly and clamps were needed.

Nathan, I am following along as well. I have friends in eastern Ukraine, so very interested in this one. Kind regards, Dutch

Welcome Dutch! This build is turning into a slog. Clamps and super-glue "force-holds" galore. Luckily it is a tiny plane so I'm nearly done already, just completing all the seam sanding.

Working on the cowl. I had to use 2-part epoxy clay to fill a large gap on the bottom of the cowl that was created by making the cowl fit straight & level.
8 August, 20:53

Looking good. Keep up the progress. The splinter pattern will be stupendous when done.
13 August, 16:03
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Thanks Dutch! Man I just realized looking at pictures that the wing camo is a mirror image for the other wing. It won't be perfect… 😁

Welcome to the show Ben! I've applied the first color today. Now off to cut masks for the next color. I've been spoiled by those pre-cut masks…
16 August, 17:41
![](/profiles/img/11761-776-s.jpg)
Nathan, quick question. Why not just spray the first color overall, then mask only the subsequent colors? Saves at least one step, I should think. Carry on. I am enjoying the show.
16 August, 17:47
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
In this case I just got a little too happy masking. I even decided against my usual preshade since this plane's paint looks really new in all the pictures.
17 August, 17:20

Nathan, are you going to put kill markings on it?

Well my printer is dead, but my dad has a similar one so I'm going to try… Wish me luck.
19 August, 17:35
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
The second color has been applied. Slow going here as my workbench time has been lacking.
25 August, 14:13
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Thanks Dutch! Today I masked off the areas for the gloss black. The tan colored areas are quite small, but they're everywhere. Tamiya tape stock is going up!!
26 August, 17:32
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Well my gloss black was solidified, so flat black will have to do. Hopefully it will all even out when the clear is applied

Thanks Jennifer and Villiers!
Work continues on masking these tiny sections.
30 August, 16:13

Well that was a whole bunch of masking for some very tiny pixels… I also added a coat of Future to help with the panel lining effort to come.
3 September, 23:57

Today has seen the underside color selected and applied (Tamiya X-14 Sky Blue) along with masking/painting the cowl colors using Steel & Red.
4 September, 13:58
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
I'm using both AK & Mig panel wash. For the bottom I used Grey-Blue and for the top I haven't decided whether I'll use a dark brown or black wash. Of course for the black areas I'll use the Stone Grey wash which I think is Mig.

Thanks LC & Guy!
More masking for the Ukrainian flag on the tail today.
6 September, 01:59

Thanks Robert!
Chrome Yellow has been applied for the first half of the Ukrainian flag on the tail.
6 September, 14:53
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
The Ukrainian flag on the tail has been completed and the landing gear legs have been painted and attached.
7 September, 23:01
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Thanks Dutch! Today I completed painting the canopy framing and the wheels. Also my clear gloss arrived in the mail today, so I'll be able to apply that to the entire aircraft. After that I only need to paint the anti-glare panel on the upper cowl. Nearing the finish line.

Ooh-la-la! Well done Nathan. Definitely a special addition to the display case.

Another outstanding build Alexander. I love the paint texture on the wings 👍
