Red Arrows advice needed


F1 Insider

Recommended Posts

Chaps/chapettes,

As you will no doubt ascertain from my screen name I like to build a whole different type of wingy things.

However....

I've been harbouring a desire to build a modern (as possible) Red Arrow but would like some advice on what kit would be the best to go for?

Thank you muchly in advance.

Love you bye!

The Hawk is a surprising large aeroplane. A 1/72 one will take up about the same room as a 1/24 '63 Corvette. But as you are used to working in 1/24 I'd say go for a 1/48, you may find 1/72 too fiddly.

I don't really know what scale. My display cabinet is perfectly sized for 1:20/24 sized models so something that sort of physical size (not scale).

A Hawk is 11.9 meters long, has a wing span of 9.39 meters and is 3.98 meters high, which scales as:

1/32 scale: length - 372 mm, span - 293 mm and height - 124 mm

1/48 scale: length - 248 mm, span - 196 mm and height - 83 mm

1/72 scale: length - 165 mm, span - 130 mm and height - 55 mm
