The Little World

Or a tive.

The colours of the Hawk are meant to echo those of an RCAF bomber squadron in WW2. As this is a NATO fighter trainer, I think it an odd choice, but I’m not the politicians or the paint shop. I just follow along.

The top is a mix of a Mr. Color brown and AK green and is quite a simple thing to do. Then the bottom is the wonderful No. 92 semi-gloss black from Mr. Color. A better aircraft black there is not, and whether it has been in spray can or airbrush bottle, I have never had a failure yet with it.

The odd part is that the Canadian trainer has only one underside number – no buzz code or anything. The top is full, of course, but the underside is pristine.
