JWM Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Hi Let say it is finished - My number three of planned five belonging to "mass production of Hawker Hart family" ( After Egyptian Avro 674 and Persian (radial) Hart I made Hart Trainer in markings of 4 FTS RAF, Habbaniya, May 1941. Basicly this is a scratch conversion from Avis/Amodel Hart model (Amodel 72240). I have copied in resin pilot cockpit, changed wing slope, blinded side windows and half-pipe for gun, added ventilation pannel on nose (the most problematic part...), blinded the hatch from behind (EDIT: added new exhaust) and made new struts between wings. I made some some crosskitting here as well - lower wings are from AZ Audax - since they do not have any support points. The A-model lower wings I used for a radial Hart. Initially I was thinking on using rudders from AZ kits, but after more carefully studies I made Hart Trainer (and also Hector and Hertbeeste, which are under preparation) with Amodel rudders. EZ riggings added. K4900 was sometimes presented as "black 4" but for me the comparison between black serial and red middle of roundel against shadow of gray of "4" suggests, that it was rather "red four". http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234984588-habbaniya-hawker-hart-trainer-details/ She looks like that: And here just to show difference in wing slope, against Persian Hart (radial): Comments welcome Regards Jerzy-Wojtek Edited August 1, 2017 by JWM Switch to Flickr 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Such a lovely looking aircraft. I'd love one in 1/24. All I have is an Airfix original still in the bag. Too fiddly for me these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 You do turn out some lesser known aircraft at times. Nice to see a Hart as well as the Persian version 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try the Silver Wings 1/32 kit. Resin & a bit pricey but beautiful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Cracking build Jerzy. That's a lot of extra work you've crammed into such a tiny kit, but it's paid off so well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did Heinkels, Horsa, Hotspur, Helldiver, Hawk, Hawkers and particulary - Hawkers Hart family. Among them this one - Hawker Hart trainer. Letm me put it back to forum, especially that I have not express my thanks to last comment - so Martin, many thanks for your nice comment :).

TonyTiger66 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 These Hawkers are very nice J-W. . The Persian one is really quite exotic, it looks like it could belong in a Tin Tin adventure (I like them a lot ). I'm looking forward to seeing the other Hawkers, especially the Hector. Best regards TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
