Dan, did you apply it before or after applying the graphics?

Freewing 70mm Hawks at the Arizona Jet Rally 2017.

After Steve, it helps to lock on the decals. Decals on bare airplane and then three or four coats of Varathane.

hello all new to site thought i would post a pic of my BAe Hawk my version of arctic camo

[vdanger]

Wow that is impressive! Youve obviously put a lot of time into it.

Is that some sort of decal paper with the camo pattern on it?

I highly suggest you read my post #313 over on the rcgroups forum.

Finished up my Grey Hawk this evening. Looking forward to it's possible maiden this weekend.

[RCjetdude]

I like the colors! No graphics?

[moxjett]

None yet. Looking to see how the graphics that come with it look, or get something else for it. I might look into getting some graphics from some of the other jets, like the Freewing 70mm F-16.

[hotrod23t]

I like the paint hope it flies as good as it looks. i used left over decals for mine

[moxjett]

Have you made the suggested mods to reinforce the front fuselage from coming off during a hard landing hotrod23t? I plan to reinforce mine before I maiden it. Weather has been cold and windy here, so I'll have time to do it before I get a chance to maiden it.

Running that doubler all the way forward to the second rib in the cockpit (last picture) is really a good idea. Will make it a lot stronger.

PIC O THE DAY

gorilla glue will make it stronger then stock (that is if they used glue in the first place)
