Here is my BAe Hawk of the famous Red Arrows in 1/72 scale. Even the kit is of their Small Starter Set collection, so a beginner's kit consisting of 24 parts, I really enjoyed building it.
The kit itself was a gift from my wife. She bought it in London 2.5 weeks ago and I built it during my Corona quarantine time.

That is just lovely work. So crisp. Well done.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Turned out nice. And I kinda like the idea of a simple build now and again - focus on finish etc. That is a great stand BTW. I like to do some of my kits (mostly airliners) in flight/wheels up and that stand is awesome, like the shadow of the plane.
Thanks,
John

That’s a beautiful build Marius, and that “shadow” in flight display stand is really the icing on the cake for displaying this little gem! Bravo!
