HobbyBoss 1/48 Hawk T MK.1A Plastic Model Kit [81733]

The Hawk T1A is a modified Hawk T1, which was intended to replace the Hawker Hunter in the RAF's Tactical Weapons Units. A total of 89 aircraft were converted to carry two underwing AIM-9L Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and a centreline gun pod.

During the 1980s, the RAF began using TWU Hawks in the Mixed Fighter Force (MFF) concept; the intention was to attach three of four Hawks to a Phantom or Tornado interceptor, which would guide them using its powerful radar onto enemy targets.

This is also the variant used by the RAF's Red Arrows display team; the underbody gun pod is used to carry oil for the display smoke system.[citation needed] Item No 81733 Item Name Hawk T MK.1A Bar Code 6939319217332 Scale 1:48 Item Type Static kit Model Dimension Length:268 mm Width: 210mm Total Plastic Parts 180+ Total Sprues 13 sprues Chromeplate Parts n/a Resin Parts n/a Metal Parts n/a Photo Etched Parts 1 piece Film Accessory n/a Released Date 2014-09 More Features the kit consists of over 180 parts -Detailed fuselage&wing w/accurate design -Detailed engine & cockpit
