dazdot Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Whilst in the lakes on holiday we had a couple of flyby's by hawk t1's in black with what looked like wingtip tanks? Anyone shed any light on this and are they available by anyone for the 1/32 revell kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) You sure they were T.1's and not T.2's?: http://www.airteamimages.com/pics/155/155707_800.jpg http://static.laodong.com.vn/Uploaded/phamthuhien/2014_10_14/hawk%20%282%29_KPNX.jpg Edited May 12, 2016 by andym Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazdot Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 That's the ones lol how much work to convert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The T1 and T2 are basically two different aircraft, think F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet, so a conversion is not really viable/possible. I'm no expert on the subject and there's plenty folk on here that will be able to tell you exactly but the 100 has a larger composite main wing, digital modern cockpit and more than likely the fuselage is larger too. From memory Airfix do a 1/72 and 1/48 Hawk 100, Hobby Boss are releasing it in 1/48 and Kinetic do a 1/32 kit. Muzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomjw Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Everything about the Hawk T1 and T2 is different. The T2 is a Mk.128 and is very similar to the Mk.127 (Australian Hawk). So if you wanted to build a kit version then a Mk.127 would be the best starting point. Cheers, Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrierpilot Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 What looks like Tip tanks are in fact missile rails for when the jets on No.IV ® Squadron/4FTS fly with the Raids pod and the dummy sidewinder/ASRAAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottC Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Having built the Kinetic 32nd Hawk T.2 i can say its a really nice kit. ScottC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pricer592 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 The Kinetic 1/32 is not an actual T2 , they cockpit consoles are totally different on the T2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kinetic kit will guve a reasonable stab at a Mk.127 (Aussie Hawk) and there isn't much difference at all between the Mk.127 and the Mk.128 (RAF T2) physical cockpits at all.

Pricer592 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 personal experience is that the physical cockpits are totally different , considering i work on them i find there to be quite a difference , consoles supplied with the kinetic kit have 2 multi function displays where as the 128(RAF) has 3 , and externally they dont supply the smart probes on the nose.

I've just checked my kit and I agree that the kit won't represent a Mk.127 or Mk.128, so I was incorrect. I do stand by my comment, however that the real Mk.127 and Mk.128 cockpits are virtually identical. This is based on real world experience as I worked on both during my time a BAe Brough.
