Airfix 1/72 Scale RAF Red Arrows Hawk (Best Of British Starter Set Part Two)
In late 1979 the legendary aerobatic team, The Red Arrows retired its fleet of Folland Gant T.1 aircraft. The reliable jet trainer that had been flown by the Red Arrows. Since the formation of the aerobatic team in 1964. Its replacement the BAE Hawk T.1 much like its predecessor would continue to amaze audiences around the world.
For almost 45 years the BAE Hawk continues to be flown by the Red Arrows. And it is fitting that Airfix has made a 1/72 scale starter set of The Red Arrows BAE Hawk T.1. Or to be more specific as a part of the Best Of British Starter Set. Which came with the of the Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc Starter Set.
However, all of the include Humbrol paint pots in this starter set were bone dry. So instead, I used my stock pile of Vallejo Acrylic model paints as a replacement. Even with this minor setback, I was still able to make a nice model out of the kit.
In the second part of this two-part build video. Join me as I make the Airfix Red Arrows BAE Hawk Starter Set. The first part of the video covers the build of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc Starter Set. Which you can also view on the channel. Until next time good luck with all your ongoing scale modelling projects. And as always thank you for watching this video.

Amazing work!
Thank You so much!
how do you calculate resize the print out for the underside?
I didn't need to calculate the size for the print. Luckly Airfix always list model's final size (both length and wingspan) on the box. Which saved me a great deal of time, trying to measure the model.
@@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels I see, thanks man
Not using airbrush or spray can even once throughout the video? What side of CZcams I'm on 🙃 Looks great and has dare I say "old timey" look to it, like that too.
if you didnt paint it in the manfred way, consider yourself an opp
Looks cool.
Thank You :)
I thought it was already colored, but it turns out it has to be colored. 😢
I know it's a starter kit but why did Airfix leave out the under fuselage winglets? Well tidy build though.
Good question Kenneth, one can only speculate why that detail is missing. It is not like that is a very small part. That would be hard for a first timer to attach to the model. Anyway, thanks for watching!
Nice work again nephew. Great job.
Thanks Uncle glad you loved it!
looks great! That red paint is really hard to use and I think you did a good job!
Thank You Matt, glad that you liked it. Also, I am very happy to hear that you loved the red paint work on this model too.
Ah yes, the old "new" style pots supposedly have been redesigned to prevent the drying problem. Despite this, I think you did a great job!
That is good news to hear that Humbrol/Airfix have fixed the paint problem. For a scale modeller like me with a healthy paint supply it was not too much of an issue. I cannot even imagine how frustrating for a beginner it would be to find dried paint in the starter set. Anyway, thank you Matt. I am glad you loved seeing my take on this kit. And hopefully the next starter set I tackle ,will not have dried paint in the box.
Airfix should do a lot more to fix the paint problem,its putting a lot of new people off our wonderful hobby.Cmon Airfix put it right.Well tidy build btw.
Hopefully the paint problem will be fixed by Humbrol/Airfix. Minus the paint issues I had with this kit. It is always a joy to make an Airfix model of the Supermarine Spitfire. Thanks for watching and liking the model, Kenneth.
Beautiful job as always my friend!
Thank You I'm glad you liked it
Hi everyone here is the link to the Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vc video: czcams.com/video/4KHGX7mA9Dw/video.html Unfortunately, all the include Humbrol paint pots in this starter set were bone dry.

Very nice. I like it 👌
Thanks a lot 😊
I started the hobby a little while ago and this bf 109 is my first kit ever. I'm going to paint it using brushes. Any recommendations for a beginner modeler? (Also great job fella)
Let me welcome into the wonderful world of scale modelling. It is always nice to hear from someone just getting involved with this hobby. When it comes to brush painting a scale models. I have found is always best to have a good collection of Flat Head and Round Head brushed, that have soft bristles. As for brush painting a model aircraft. Its always best to try and have the brush strokes running from nose to tail. And from the wing roots out to the wing tips. And apply thin layers of paint in at least 2-3 coats. With a good amount of drying time between each coat. If you want to attempt the mottled camouflage on your BF-109, as seen in the video. Just take your time with it. And above all have fun with this hobby. Hope this is of some help for you.
If you want a bit simpler paintjob for the first one, I can recommend the Academy BF-109 G-14. it's the plane of Erich Hartmann, and has an overall white paintjob, with the unique markings supplied as decals.
That yellow think are Ethiopian, not Eritrea
Wondering what colour you painted the air intakes? Not sure if I should paint it black or navy blue .
This is an absolute masterpiece of a model 🤩
Thank you so much !
@@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels no problem at all just saying what I thought on this beauty of a model
Wow
just wondering did you think about doing Nac?
I would like to make an NZ civil airliner model one of these days. I just have a lot other model kits to make in the stash.
An interesting piece of history - From my father-in-law's logbook, Flight Sergeant, Howard Monk, RNZAF flew this aircraft NZ3136 on 22 March 1945, as part of the training unit mentioned and transitioning to F4Us. Howard recently passed away on March 24, 2024, at 100 years old. That would be 79 years and two days from flying this P-40.
Why you didn't use the pilot figure that comes with the kit? (Beautiful job btw)
Thank you so much. I am very happy to hear that you loved the look of this model. The reason why I went for an Airfix figure instead of the kits pilot. Is that I thought that the Airfix figure had a bit more detail.
Well tidy tank and base, well tidy indeed.
Thank you Kenneth glad you loved the model and Diorama. And thanks for watching!
Great job on the char b1 bis and welcome back
Thank you Jose it's good to be back. I'm glad you love the Char B1 too.
Interesting subject, interesting camo and always good to watch some hand painting for a change. Great little film 👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Thank you for your kind words. I’m always happy to hear that you love seeing a model kit being brush painted. And thank you for watching too!
that was a fun build! Camo came out real gooood :)
Thank you Matt, glad you loved the camouflage on this one. Most 1/56 scale armour kits are super fun and easy to make. Hope this inspires you to try a 1/56 scale model kit or want to make a Char B1 model kit.
Good to see you back once again!
thank you it is good to be back!
Question, Would you be interested in Selling a sheet of Decals for this build??? I got a couple of the Tamiya kits and would be very interested in doing this aircraft for my collection. Thanks.
Scale modeling should be a more appreciated art on CZcams. I don’t see it getting a lot of attention sadly.
I could not agree more. Scale Modelling is an underrated art form
Can you build this kit with wheels up?
The kit only comes with the option to have the landing gear down. However, it should not be too hard to glue the gear in the inflight position.
nice job!! 💪🏼😃
Thank You!
...war is stupid............
Your video clearly reveals that an airbrush isn't always necessary to render an accurate replica. I never knew about the factory paint scheme. I'm re reading The Story of Air Fighting and am currently in the opening chapters on World War One. Thank you for sharing your skills and expertise. Larry Landis
Thank You for your kind words, Larry. The streak Fokker DR.1 camouflage was also used on early models of the Fokker D.VII. Thanks for the book recommendation, if you want any great biographies on WW1 Aces, check out Peter Kilduff’s books. Such as his books on Billy Bishop, Rudolf Berthold and even one Herman Goering’s WW1 service.
Thank you for the inspiration to try my Revell Dr1.I'll let you know how it works out. I think I have a set of 1/72nd scale PE Spandaus for it.
Well tidy Wildcat,well tidy indeed.
Thank you Kenneth
Wheels-up *and* brush painted? You're talking my language, good sir. Subbed.
Glad you liked it. Thank you for watching and Subscribing
I have this kit in the Stash… Found PHOTO ETCH made specifically for this kit!!!!!! A big Fan of the WILDCAT like the IN FLIGHT look you made… And very resourceful on the Decals, it’s always good to have Spare Decals, Spare Pilot I know I do…. GREAT JOB 👍…… CHRIS from OHIO 🇺🇸
Thank you Chris I am glad you like my model of the legendary F4F Wildcat. I do not often make models in flight. But I could not pass the opportunity to use include stand. I was not aware there was a photo etch set for this kit. But good on you for finding one. Good luck with your build of this kit and thank you for watching.
I built this one in my youth - was my first experience of Academy - not a bad kit. Sadly not all Academy kits are as acceptable as this one lol. You did a great job on yours! P.S I sent you a DM on discord
Thank you, Matt glad you love it. This must have been a trip down memory lane for you. Would love to see you make a video on this kit. At least this time you will have Micro Sol or Micro Set to tackle those Academy Decals. Which have not changed in their “quality”
Digging the mix of archival footage in the video, very entertaining and shows how closely you replicated the real deal plane. Awesome work!
Thank you I am happy you loved the both the model and the video. I always try to add archival footage (if I can find the right footage) with the build footage of the model, in my videos. Thanks for watching
Lovely wildcat!!
Thank you Konstantinos glad you loved it!
Lovely job 👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻 I really enjoy watching you do these. Sometimes all that complicated stuff gets too much. Nice to see a good, brushed finish too.
I am happy to hear that you enjoy my build videos and models. I do like to try and keep things nice and simple. Because trying to tackle all that aftermarket stuff in a model build, would terrify me if I made a mistake! Anyway, good luck with all your ongoing projects. And thanks for watching
Great video! Very nice build and thanks for sharing the Sabre film footage!! I have one in the stash and was concerned about the decals. With your technique in mind I should not have to worry!
Thank you I am glad you loved seeing my brief walkaround of a real F-86. Also good to hear that the way I applied the tulip decal, will help you with your build of this kit. Good luck with your build and thanks for watching.
I’d probably break a piece when removing it from the frame cuz there so delicate on this kit
👍 Nice looking Typhoon...not many modeller on yt do this subject.. good for you
Thank you I'm glad you liked it
Fabulous modeling and video. Thanks for shooting and sharing. Why use a brush and not an airbrush?
I did this kit with the same homemade livery. In my case, I reproduced the photo of the crash landing with a small vignette.
Well done that sounds awesome. Loved the fact you recreated V8 53 in its wrecked state, on a small vignette. I might have to make a wrecked aircraft diorama one of these days…….
I just finished this one myself. Naturally, I broke off the antennae. I'll need to glue it back. I'll also have to revisit the video for the part about DIY decals. This one sat on my paint shelf for quite a while because the camo scared me. Mine turned out all right. Great work. And my pitot tube has been threatening removal since I cut the wing from the sprue.
Thank you. I am sorry to hear you had a few issues with this kit. And were also a bit scared about tackling the camo scheme. But I am happy to hear that you were able to finish the model. After sitting on the shelf for a while. In fact, I have got a few ongoing projects that are sitting on my shelf. Which I need to finish one of these days. Anyway, you should be proud with yourself for completing your BF-109. Finding the motivation to complete a project is always a good thing. Good luck with all your ongoing projects. And thanks for watching.
Good effort on this one for brush painting.
thank you I'm glad you liked it
That's a very nice build. I'm definitely going to try your mottling technique the next time I build a 109.
Thank you I am glad to hear that you are keen try this painting technique on a model BF-109 (or even a FW-190). My advice to test it on an old model (or piece of cardboard), until you feel comfortable to apply it on the models paint work.
Grey palstic, paint it black and then paint it grey again whaaaat
The black primer fills any tiny cracks and gives the color layer better adherence to the plastic.
Well said @Chilly_Billy, that is exactly what primer can do. It also shows up if you have missed any gaps or putty. That needs to be sanded or refilled. Hope this helps you in your modelling.
@@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels thank you for explaining
