After quite some time since the start, the Must Have! Hawk is at completion. ;)

Once again to summarize the build, Daniel did the actual modifications to the Hobbycraft kit parts and adapted the new PE and resin pieces to the kit. My job was to assemble what he sent me (and I changed engine types as shown earlier in the thread) and paint the result. I used an AML Decals sheet "French Pilots on Hawks, Part II" for the markings.

I really recommend building this if you can find one--great upgrades from photoetch, to resin to an excellent decal sheet. Must Have! was certainly a great idea and it's unfortunate that the company was unable to continue producing excellent products like this one.

My special thanks to the staff at Must Have! for the excellent product and all the work that went into producing something excellent for our industry. Great thanks also to Daniel for sending the kit to me for finishing. A "team build" in which he'd done all the hard work! :-ok

Excellent result, Scott! Great kit indeed.

Must Have! was having good projects but the team collapsed...
