Maybe it's just me but I think it looks horrible. Okay, it's an authentic scheme and it was nice idea, but to me it looks as naff as all the other "air show" schemes applied to the Hawk. Personally, if an amusing repaint is on the cards, I would have gone for the original post-delivery red/white/grey scheme or the grey/green tactical camouflage. Having said that, I'd be fascinated to see what the Hawk would have looked like in the two trainer schemes which had been abandoned before the Hawk came along, ie the silver scheme with yellow trainer bands, and of course the lovely light grey scheme with dayglow strips! But dressing an advanced trainer up as a Spitfire? Nah!
