So, these two Tomahawks have been finished for a couple of weeks now. Today I took them from the shelf for some pictures, then remembered that I haven't weathered them yet! :-red :-wall However, the camera was handier than the airbrush so I'll simply post these shots. Y'all can imagine what the weathering will add and I'll do that later.

First is the Egyptian Tomahawk, this being from a later RAF batch that fought in North Africa:

The other machine is from a very early RAF series, identifiable by the large antenna mast on the fuselage. This Turkish machine is one of those that was used for training purposes:

These two kits were quite a bit of fun, bringing back the memories of building an AVG version when I was very young. I incorporated a few bits of that kit into these two just for the sentimental value to me. ;)
