Decals, PE, and film. OK, now it is obvious why this is in my collection!

Canopy is clear and free of distortion...

SeaHawkxDetail02.jpg
Nicely recessed details...

SeaHawkxDetail03.jpg
Some sanding of the mating surfaces is in order here to avoid too much filling...

SeaHawkxDetail04.jpg
The panel that ends under the canopy fairing is not correct...

SeaHawkxDetail05.jpg
Gun troughs need drilling out...

SeaHawkxDetail07.jpg
The panels crossed over so there is a need to fill lines... especially at the fasteners.

SeaHawkxDetail08.jpg
Main gear bay...

SeaHawkxDetail06.jpg
Main gear bay has some detail molded in...

SeaHawkxDetail09.jpg
Wing fold rib details...

SeaHawkxDetail10.jpg
Cockpit detail is passable since it is black and seen through a rather small canopy.

Some flash is evident here...

Fit is good but care is needed. Details are nice but plenty for someone to tweak. CMK and Aires both have resin detail sets as does Eduard with their PE.
