Hawker's been Courted
Posted: 24 Aug 2013, 14:08
Here's the latest to the Court Line VA fleet based on the 1970's G-AVRG. Of the hundreds of repaints I have done over the years this has certainly been more challenging on account of a difficult paint kit 
. In the end I gave up perfecting the orange on the underside of the wings so left them white, but am happy enough with the results. I shall have another go when I have a week to spare 
I was never sure what the original AVRG was used for - I did hear shuttling crew round Europe from time to time. Imagine that nowadays!
There's a deliberate mistake I've just noticed
the poor thing thinks it's a VC-10....I've corrected the reg now but am not reposting the shots! (The titles are not an accurate representation...see earlier post re Court Line VA.)
Awaiting someone self-important at City...
Lined up at Luton...
....freedom!
...perfect colour combination..
...and this was an experiment;
Cheers

but not very good at being G-AVRG 
which was a very early 125...might be better with a false reg..., still as I said a nice job, just the memory of the real thing gets in the way.
