This is the kit that restarted my interest in modelling this Christmas past courtesy of Lidl, I've not stopped since, I think the missus regrets the surprise Christmas gift!

I made this kit to hang from my sons ceiling a few weekends ago. Really enjoyed the build and painting it. One mistake I did make was that I didn't realise the clear bit either side of the back of the canopy were supposed to remain clear. So I painted them. But hanging from the ceiling it's not noticeable. I was dreading the sharks mouth decal, but it went on well. I had to add a small line of black paint to get the bottom to look like it joined, but it looks good.

One of the first kits I built at 10 years old - 60 years ago. Neville Duke held the World Airspeed Record at 615mph in an early Hawker Hunter.

Using acrylic thinner which contains iso-propyl alcohol will lower the viscosity making the paint flow more easily which would help with airbrushing.

Nice job, Gaz. The result of airbrushing the Humbrol paints is great. I don't think that I have seen another KZfaqr do that. I will try it out. Thanks. 👍

I use the humbrol dropper bottles which thin really nicely with Tamiya X20.

Looking great Gary. I enjoyed your exhaust application, which looked relly good.

Hi gary, i agree, it's a lovely little kit and i really enjoyed the one i made before Christmas. I hand painted mine, but i have to say, your airbrush painting looks super smooth.

Made this kit just before christmas also got the folland gnat at the same time

I am impressed with how the paint sprayed. Kind of nice vivid colours and a good finish considering you were starting with what looked like slime. This is a nice looking kit and I like the Warhawk family of aircraft. Its a shame the actual aircraft a bit of a bad reputation performance wise.

Hi Gary. Enjoyed watching you tonight. Great little kit. Cant wait for live stream tomorrow night. 8:10 8:44

Hi Gary. Enjoyed the video tonight. Great little kit. Looking forward to the live stream tomorrow night.

I've made this and it is a lovely little kit

Great little kit....i did 1 in "what if"" Irish Air Corps winter camo for the winter warriors group build

A classic aircraft well done Gary . Regards Gav.

Got this in the stash, looking forward to it!

Good little kit to get into the hobby,one thing Airfix are good at.

Hello mr. Gary. Thats a dynamic boxart. I build an tomahawk at the age of 12 in 1996.your build reminds me of those happy days,where the glue came out of the tube,and not out of contacta or tamiyabottle.thats descent build and a great paintjob you did.with sticky greetings. Christian

Thanks Gary

Gary, it looks like many people are returning to model making. This video contains a few tips, especially your drawing attention to washing the frames before doing anything else. They may not need it, but a stitch in time. I suggest that next time you do a "starter" kit for the information of newcomers, that you go into a more detailed explanation of the instructions contained in each of the step diagrams. Too often, experienced modellers making this type of video simply apply their modelling experience without explanation. I could joke and say that men don't need to follow instructions, but as with any project, the first step is to understand the instructions. If you don't you end up with a wobbly IKEA bookcase and leftover screws. Should cockpit details be painted in the sprue before assembly? Should instrument panel decals be set before the panel is fitted? Another thing I've noticed with your build and that of others of the same kit is that the inside of the wing around the undercarriage isn't being painted before the wing is closed up. Doing that makes it easier for the less experienced/learner. As a positive comment, I found this video, being a "what's in the box" plus "how it's built" to be much more succinct tha spreading those topics over two videos. Good on ya, mate!

Hi Gary. Enjoyed watching you tonight. Great little kit. Cant wait for live stream tomorrow night. 8:10

Beautiful little build Gary. As ever you've made a wonderful model. I bought this after seeing your aldi/lidl video before Xmas and you've made me want to build it now! Love the desert scheme, looks so cool. I'll catch you later on the live stream mate. 👍 Hope you're feeling better. Take care Gary. Best wishes Bobby

First kit I did when I was 8 have done 35 models now

Good work Gary!

Looks cool 👍

Looks like a lovely kit

That looks awesome cool to know you can use the humbrol paints that come with the kit in an airbrush now my possibilitys are endless thank you gary great video as always

Another cracking build 👏 I've got a couple in the stash. For the price they are well worth it.

Hi Gary, good video of a nice little kit with no real vices! With a little more airbrush skill I would have been even more pleased with my result. I used Vallejo Model Air as I just couldn't face the Humbrol pot experience...

Hi Gary. Really enjoyed this video and will definitely look out for this kit. Like Nigel, used to model as a kid and only started again since Christmas. One thing I’m struggling with is canopy masking. I know you used a masking kit for this one. Would appreciate any hints, tips and advice on it. Maybe I’ve been unlucky but I’ve found a lot of the canopies to be the poorest piece of tooling in the kits. And a struggle to get nice or fit well.

Thank you for a great video lovely build showed me so many techniques l will now have a go at exhaust staining 😉 which l had no idea how to do l don't know if this a silly question but with this brush technique will it work okay with 1/48 👍

Good vid - I have one deep in the stash. More water-based acrylics out there than you might think Gary - I've recently moved to water-based, principally because of the clean up chore and smell of lacquer based products. Mission Models, Ammo Atom and Acrylic Colour, Vallejo Model Air and Metal Color are a few. Still tend to use acrylic thinner and retarder (specifically for water-based) rather than water though, as I think they level better.

IIB or not IIB, that is the ques...oh it is!

Hi Gary, did you use all the starter set paints with the airbrush? I’ve been thinking of doing that but wasn’t sure how easy or not it would be? Would save buying separate paints. Thanks, Chris

cool kit, especially for £5 or whatever. I gave mine a red nose

Hi Gary. I just came across your video of this British Tomahawk scale model. I would like to ask what tweezers are you using? As I'm returning to scale modeling after a 45 year hyadus, keeping posting your videos 🙂

Is there going to be a monday matters today Gary?

The Delta looks awfully similar to a P-40.

I like this kit. Had one for a christmas present. How did the humbrol paints go down through the airbrush? We saw you mix the paint then thr next shot was the complete model. Did it take several coats of very thinned paint?

Title tag wrong Gary 😉

How can I buy you a coffee if you are British? It’s not possible , you have to drink tea

Hi Gary. Enjoyed watching you tonight. Great little kit. Cant wait for live stream tomorrow night.
