The Airfix Red Arrows Hawk 50th Display Season kit is another nice kit that’s easy to make. Myself and my son put this one together.

Again we went with a custom paint job, using Halford’s paint we had to hand, and applied the decals to our own tastes. We’re called it the Silver Arrow for obvious reasons.

I applied a couple of layers of clear coat too, but for some reason this seemed to bubble some of the decals.

We’re happy with the results. I’ve been told the next paint job should glow in the dark. We’ll see what happens on that front.

My nephew and I made the Airfix De Havilland Vampire Starter Kit over the weekend. It was a very easy kit to make, and perfect as a first time kit for a youngster.

We didn’t use the supplied Humbrol cement, we stuck to the tried and tested Revell Contacta Professional.

We also didn’t bother with the supplied acrylic paints, instead we sprayed it with some Halford’s Grey Primer and then some Halford’s Ford Caymen Blue to finish.
