kstater94 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Evening all! I'm about to install the flap tracks on my Hawk. I've decided (to speed things up) to model the aircraft with the flaps up. I remember someone pointing out that Airfix had messed this up and had you installing a couple tracks in the wrong position Would one of you seasoned Airfix Hawk experts know what the correct callout should be? The instructions callout: part 65 (right wing - outboard) part 66 (right wing - middle) part 67 (right wing - inboard) part 68 (left wing - outboard) part 69 (left wing - middle) part 70 (left wing - inboard) Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Cheers! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! John I found this when I dropped the flaps on mine, the numbers on the instructions and the sprues are the wrong way round. I followed the numbers for raised flaps while installing the dropped flaps actuators . You need to do the opposite Hope that made sense Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstater94 Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 yup! Makes perfect sense Chris! assuming that was the only confusing thing about the whole callout and the numbers work for inboard, middle, and outboard I'll press ahead! Thanks for your help! Cheers!

kstater94 Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Ah! Gotcha! As I'm building this flaps up, I'm not worried about the spacing issue that you pointed out However, I have several other Hawks which I plan on building flaps down and the reminder/reference will be a valuable resource Thanks for that EDIT: I was looking through the Air Data 1 "BAe Systems Hawk" book and happened to come across a photo of a Canadian CT-155 (pg 48). There is a photo of the trailing edge of the left wing. Naturally, you can see the flap and you can see that the inner flap is the same length as the regular flap! I started looking at other 100 series Hawks and it appears that they too have a full span inner flap! So, it is not true that the inner flap is shorter in span than the trailing edge flap on all Hawks Mark, just the advanced 100 series. Cheers!

Flyboy72nd Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 This has been a very informative thread; CMK is doing some detail sets for the 72nd Hawk and it looks, although hard to tell for sure, that they may have missed the detail about the size of the inner portion of the flap??? Here's a link to what they are doing; http://www.cybermodeler.com/news/cmk.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
