Mark M Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 Nice builds Mark, one thing worth noting about Grey/Green camouflaged Hawks, I seem to recall that the demarkation lines, on the wings anyway, tended to aligh with panel or flap lines. This was to enable cross-fitting of panels to different airframes. May be worth digging some colour pic's out.... bill i went from a photo and the MA pofile guide all the camo scheems were similar but not quite the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worm Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Hi Mark Great models and I've always had a soft spot for the Hawk in the green and grey wrap round camo though I do have one question, did the RAF fit the 2inch rocket pods ?, I'm just wondering as I may do the same with the Revell 1/32 version when it comes out.

worm Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Thanks for the clarification Mark, so I can pinch them off a 1/32 Hunter kit then instead of trying to make them from scratch. All the best Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddeathdrinker Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) Mark, just been "browsing" Airliners.net, and there's a few Hawk photos from Shawbury that could be of interest, if you're looking to do something slightly different with one or two of your Hawk collection... http://www.airliners.net/photo/UK---Air/Ha...4845b796a483c4f I have photos of this a/c at Akrotiri... http://www.airliners.net/photo/UK---Air/Br...087e6dc92362552 http://www.airliners.net/photo/UK---Air/Br...087e6dc92362552 Edited December 16, 2010 by reddeathdrinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennings Heilig Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I'm a bit late to this party, but is there a need for a decal for the det cord in the canopy on this model???? J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark M Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 depends which kit you make, the airfix 1/72 / 1/48 kits have a recessed pannel on the cannopy so can be painted SEE HERE the italeri 1/48 kit doesnt have anything, i cant remember the others off the top of my head, hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Steve I think Mark has made the same mistake as I did and used the RN type 2" pod from the Airfix Harrier GR3 (which was most likely the ONLY RAF aircraft to use this in 1982!). In 1/48th there were RAF SNEB/Matra(?) pods available in Airfix's Canberra B(I)8, though these weren't that great! Flightpath do superb resin pods though. I'd hope that Revell's Hawk has a pair of pods in it - though as I believe the first issue will be for the Red Arrows I think that unlikely! Still I expect aftermarket examples to follow in 1/32nd!

worm Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 The 1/48 Academy Hunter has the two row Matra pods and so does the 1/32 Revell Hunter. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaCee Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Mark, UHU little devil !! do you get anything for product placemate ? Seriously though, as has been said you can never have too many Hawks. I cannot wait for the Revell 1/32 hope they do it justice. Keep 'em coming Mark.
