Dan, you trying to put fences on wrong place (approximately at the center of wing), the right position about ⅔ distance from main wing rib (opposite of the beginning of aileron)
Look like on prototype

I'm sure with ore without fences will not affect stability, it's just for scale view.
On my bird I fully rebuld fences (it's was not scale size):

And vortex generators:

Sergey

Anyone using the stock pipe with a 180? Also is there any reason other than esthetics to center the pipe?

Hello,
I am not running the wing fences but I did set up 5mm of crow on full flap. My engine Is a 200 and no issues.

Helifox,

anymore updates on your HAWK?

Hi to all,
and sorry for delay, not to much time for hobby
But there is some progress with my Hawk, we add imitation of rudder trim






and just finished repaints, now needs to apply decals and finalise semi-mate polish and then assembly.

Some photo of the prototype paint:




As SkyMaster did:



So, you can see to many mistakes, not critical for fan, but unacceptable for copy. Does it why we decide to fully repaint.
And have started (initially i thought it be much easy)














Kind regards,
Sergey

Hello! In my opinion, too light blue. Should probably be darker. Accordingly, the British standard.

Hi,
I couldn't find the official acknowledge the number of blue color been used for XX263 (not for 1:48, 1:72 plastic model painting), also i don`t have possibility to go England to find original aircraft to check with BS paint catalogue.
Does it why i used lots of photos to decide by what to paint.
And i think blue color is to close to original:
The prototype:


My bird:


I didn't use photoshop, i swear!
Any way, these model just for my pleasure, and i like her.

Kind regards,
Sergey

"D" day is close and close.....

Not sure which Hawk you have. I have the 94" T-1 size. When I ordered it I also ordered wing tanks at the same time. They installed mounting dowels inside the wing and marked the outside with a small dimple for locating. Some of the dowels can been looking in the flap servo bay. The sad part and true to many workmanship issues the mounting points didn't line up with the tank mounting pylons. I also added some reinforcement to the dowels I could reach. Hope this was of some help.
