Hawk - best performer for what ???

[Baldrick]

Guys I've just got hold of an original hawk and I've searched to see what they do the best - line, colour or B&G
Who's got them and what do you use them for mostly ?

I ideally what to use it for B&G and colour work.
I'm not really looking to line with it much.

Thanks.

I personally, liked it better for black and grey , just because the trow was fairly short. and highlights. colored well too. not a big fan of the lining.

Black and grey, its mighty fast..

I used mine for every thing. Lining wasn't a problem, I find it a tool for every job

Used mine for everything. Great machine. But prone to hangups if you push with lining.

I always used a 5liner so I never had any probs, just burnt a motor out

Also used mine for everything. Solid performer. A few needle snags here and there but nothing to bad to really complain about. It packs color better than anything I've tried as far as rotaries

Black and grey... I felt the the throw was way to short for lining and color packing....

Have to say for black / gray - this thing is smooth ....... This is today's effort, silverback XXX black only, grey wash session next to smooth.
First session of a WW2 sleeve.
