Here is the hawk riveted and started on the paint. The past 2 days have been spent mostly with an airbrush and tape...

Because of a lack of forethought the forward twin linked HB assemblies are only on a horizontal swivel, not the vertical as well as I originally had. In the original design the guns were too far forward, so I had to remove them and glue them in place, so at least they move side to side...

Ok, well after this I think I'll just start a new thread for each job I do... this is getting confusing with all this random stuff jammed in here

Here are the final pics for the Thunderhawk. The only things I'll be finishing are the lenses, they need some final work, and glossing the lenses and canopy. And then THAT'S IT! This was a flipping HUGE job that took me a bit longer than I anticipated, but I know that's mostly due to all the delays I experienced in the middle of it.

But now it's DONE!

Now those of you with keen modeling eyes will see the couple of shortcuts and liberties I took with this model, so don't sweat it - it's staying like that!

This is pretty much finished unless I get the command to correct something all I need to do are the couple of final touches but they are so minimal I'm counting these as the finished product - while these were being taken the final coat of matt varnish is drying.
