Fishbone Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 The BAe Hawk Mk.108 & Mk.208, which has been serving the Malaysian Royal Air Force (RMAF) for the past 25 years, is still relevant in carrying out its main role in maintaining the safety and sovereignty of the country’s air space. During its 25 years of service, the Hawk aircraft had been operated by three squadrons, namely No. 6 Squadron, No. 9 Squadron and No. 15 Squadron. Among the largest operations involving this aircraft was Ops Daulat on March 2013 in which five Hawk aircraft were assigned to launch air strikes on the illegal hideouts of terrorists in Lahad Datu, Sabah. The Hawk aircraft were also used as advanced training aircraft for transitional courses to teach pilots to fly fighter aircraft operated by No. 15 Squadron at Butterworth Air Base; to train young pilots to fly fighter planes, before qualifying them to fly other combat aircraft in RMAF. I am using Hobbyboss kit for both Hawk, basically OOB and I am using the 25th anniversary livery decals from Fishbone Inc's. For sure I don't follow exactly 100% like the real aircrafts, I've added up some extra stuffs e.g. mission markings, unique callsign and fully loaded the aircraft...that's just some personal preferences '' 38 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kampartiger Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Never in my lifetime can I ever possibly assemble together Hawks as lovely as those,....such splendid build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskey Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Love these! Ive always believed that a fully loaded Hawk was one potentially vicious looking machine. Even with the beautiful finish on yours it goes to prove my point! Dunno why anyone really hasn't adopted it for light attack, CAS, FAC, etc. *Cough cough* *USAF* *Cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
