November 27, 2018
The cabin windows needs some attention but at the end they fitted well.
5
November 27, 2018
I put some weight inside the nose, not sure if it´s neccesary but better than a tail sitter.

November 27, 2018
The fuselage halfes needs slight effort to get together.

31
December 26, 2018
A thin layer of Tamiya Fine Primer shows the last ares which needs more attention.

January 13, 2019
The 027 and 028 are equiped with a radar warn receiver, which the kit didn´t show.
40
January 13, 2019
So I cut off the little cone on the fine and added a piece of sprue.
41
January 13, 2019
Next step was the housing of the RWR.
42
January 13, 2019
After masking the dark blue with UHU Patafix...

The interior is finished, don´t payed to much attention to details which are not visible at the end. Started glueing the fuselage halfes together, needs some effort but could been worse.

27 November 2018, 18:22

Harry Eder
I´m in too! Nice start 👍

3 December 2018, 09:44

Daniel Mysak
Got some progress with the U-125. The fuselage and the wings are joined, they needed some more attention then the fuselage halves.

I'm in too! A great amount of details in a small scale! 🙂

I used to have one of these, but I traded it. Nice to see one being completed. I'll be watching for sure.

Nice progress Daniel! 👍

Thank you guys, it´s nice to know there are some people watching 😉

Felipe Belalcazar
very nice, i love the hawker jet - too bad you dont see them around more often.

27 December 2018, 15:10

Graham Holmes
Daniel, nice work, love the added detail.

A question, do you think that it would be feasible to remove the belly radar and convert the kit to a regular Biz-jet version? I see this is as the only difficult bit, as the windows are no issue.

2 January 2019, 15:11

Łukasz Gliński
That's a good question Graham, I also wonder whether Sword is going to issue any other versions...

2 January 2019, 17:08

Daniel Mysak
@Graham @Lukaz I would be possible, but there will be a big gap to fill. A bit of work would then be necessary to get the right shape of this section. Maybe Sword brings a new fuselage, without radar, stiffener plates, correct windows,...

2 January 2019, 17:39

Gordon Sørensen
Lookng at the sprue pics, it seems the rear half of the bottom radar fairing is molded into the bottom of the wing, so would need a new mold for that too... but everything else should be OK!

2 January 2019, 18:45

Graham Holmes
@Lukasz @Daniel @Gordon, thanks for the responses. The pictures are most helpful and it looks like quite a bit of a job, but worth it. My brother in law worked on this version of the 125 for Beechcraft in Wichita and would love to make a model of it for him. He gave me a manufacturers model of the Hawker 1000, so worth the effort to convert this one for him. I love the looks of this plane.

2 January 2019, 20:20

Daniel Mysak
After nearly a month since my last update the paint and decals are done.

13 January 2019, 16:06

Nathan Dempsey
Coming along nicely.

Watching!

Łukasz Gliński
Looks awesome in the ocean camo. Btw. Are the decals for '027' supplied in the box?

14 January 2019, 07:28

Daniel Mysak
Thanks guys 👍
@Łukasz Unfortunately there are only decals for one grey and one blue(028) aircraft in the box, no spare to create other regs. I used some numbers from a Hasegawa T-2 Blue Impulse kit which thankfully @Harry Eder gave to me.

14 January 2019, 16:52

Harry Eder
The decals were from the Platz T-2 Daniel 😉

15 January 2019, 06:21

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks for the info guys. Does it mean this ocean camo is a whif?

15 January 2019, 12:47

Daniel Mysak
No whif, 027 and 028 are painted in two different versions of the Oceanic-Camo.

15 January 2019, 17:23

Bernd Korte
Unusual subject and nice camo!

15 January 2019, 18:42

Łukasz Gliński
Thx Daniel, I find it very interesting 🙂

20 January 2019, 20:41

Alexander Grivonev
Nice detail work, great camouflage colors, great build! 👍

21 January 2019, 06:20

Glenn
Looking great, What paint did you use for the two blues? I like to see a civil version released too! Either a Hawker 800 or the 1000 version go well with all the Amodel Biz Jets.

21 January 2019, 13:27

Daniel Mysak
@Glenn In picture No.23 you can see the color set from Mr.Color I used. It´s special for the Japanese Oceanic Camoflage and will fit perfect for a F-2 or Phantom but didn´t match the light blue of the U-125 at all. So I sprayed a layer of Tamiya Clear Blue on it to get a better result.

21 January 2019, 14:38

Spanjaard
excellent.

21 January 2019, 15:44

Daniel Mysak
I reached the finish line last week, the U-125A is done. Last things to do were some antennas, the landing gear, the wipers and the FOD-covers.

13 February 2019, 18:34

Laurent VILLANUEVA "HELLER-forever"
great

13 February 2019, 18:54

Impressive result Daniel 👍 Congrats

Stefan Fraundorfer
Congratulations Daniel! A very nice model. I like the camouflage.

13 February 2019, 19:02

Daniel Mysak
Thank you guys. I´m glad I allready finished the jet. I like the result although I am not completely satisfied with the build.

13 February 2019, 19:12

Markus Antonius
it is so refreshing to see this little beauty - a welcome change to all those 109s (even though i like 109s)... 🙂 jasdf always nice to see 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
Very cool build, Daniel, congrats
