RAF Hawk T.1 query


Nigel Bunker

Recommended Posts

I am building a Revell 1/32 Hawk as a 19 Sqn machine from 1994 using the Xtradecal sheet. Were these machines fitted with HUDs, and if so, were they the same as the unit supplied in the 1/32 scale Kinetic 100 series Hawk? I'd like to know before i close the canopy up.

Thanks in advance.

(Edited for spelling - doh!)

OK - two supplementary questions then.

Were the gunsights fitted to both the front and rear cockpits?

Can anybody point me to a picture or a dimensioned sketch of the gunsight?

Thanks again.

upper centre of instrument panel, forms part of the coaming, glass sits above the coaming with support struts to the gunsight body., the a/c I'm working on right now doesn't have sights fitted.

have a look at my front cockpit panel photo, gunsight sits directly above the main compass, the fitting in the photo is for a skyforce GPS unit.

3 of our a/c have fitted gunsights, we just haven't got around to removing them, first 2 taken through the front screen, 3rd taken from cockpit looking forward, excuse our van in the way, we were packing up to come home after a engine change.
