Hi All

Another model for 2011 season, the gws skyhawk, a foam ducted fan model which could make a very nice little PSS jet for the slope, or you can fit a fan unit and fly it of the flat. I have two projects already on the go, however I could not resist this little jet at the price! £29.00 + postage from BRC hobbies. I always liked the skyhawk and this model is a good size with lots of detail and extras in the box. I have the F15 ducted fan model and Fred flys the F15 PSS version, both models fly very well and I think great value for the Euro!.

The model is a very quick build kit. as the photos below show ( 3hrs work) and the jet is ready to paint.





I will use common household water based paint and seal it with flair sealer satin finish.

I will keep you posted how she flys.

JohnPearson:
well, I finished the Skyhawk today, with a nice paint scheme in one of the US Navy's training colours. I just need to seal the model with spray sealer, however it is a little cold in my workshop today, and I need to keep the door open when using flair sealer.





I was going to use a grey scheme however, the sun never shines when I get the chance to fly, so a nice bright scheme was used.

Hopefully I can get it in to the air next week if the snow disappears :?:
