USS Starhawk

By Art Cunningham Tweet

The USS Star Hawk was designed as a scout ship that explores planets in the galaxy. The Star Hawk was built to a scale of 1" = 20' The model is approximately 15" long. The basic hull was made from Leggs pantyhose containers. I hit my wife's friends up for as many as I could get. I made the sections that join them together, as well as the control deck, engines, wings etc. from Evergreen sheet styrene. I added details from various parts, including electronics parts, misc. kit parts, etc. The figures in the control area were carved from styrene. I painted the model with Poly S paints. The painted details were done by hand using Testors paints. I masked off some of the areas with Scotch magic tape before painting it. It has limited weathering since I wanted it to look like it had just been put into service. Front View
