India Independence Day 2009

 

This is the 1/72 Italeri kit of the BAE Hawk Mk.100. Which I have modified to 132. The modifications required were removal of chaff and flare dispenser, the sidewinder rails on the wing tips were replaced with scratch built mass balancers, three of five fences on the wings were replaced and balance 2 fences were repositioned. 
Model master Medium Grey was used on the entire aircraft and decals were self made on a alps printer.

This aircraft is based on the Indian Air Force BAE Hawk Mk.132 based in Bidar in Southern India.
