Named for a well-known bird of eastern North America, the Spitfire Mk22 acquitted itself admirably at Reno, winning three Unlimited Class championships during its career.
The old old old Hawk/Testors kit, not accurate but nice lines and a quick build for a kid. Slow build for me. Might do a bit more with it yet, but for now I'm calling it done.

Thank you Ratty,
As soon as I saw that photo my mind said "Ye Gods someone has built the old Hawk kit", then I read what you said.
A "wonderfull" trip down memory lane.

Man that's a bright red.
Great colour scheme.

Yup. I remember that old kit well. :thumbsup:
And my mind went to the SR-71....Guess she would need a rather wide course to clear pylons at Reno......
Looks good!

Can't find it at the moment, but there's a story told of an SR-71 coming back from a mission, and setting up for an approach to Beale AFB. The exact words are lost to me, but it went something like this:
"Approach, I'd like to make a turn to burn off some speed."
"Okay, how much space do you need?"
"Oh, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada should be enough." ;D ;D ;D
That is a gorgeous looking Spit!
