Airfix 1/72 BAe Hawk T.Mk.1A A03085A

After 42 years of RAF service, the BAe Hawk has proved itself to be one of the most successful post war British jets, destined to remain in service for many years to come. This latest Airfix release introduces two beautiful new scheme options which chart some of the many different guises adopted by this magnificent aircraft throughout its RAF service career.

Schemes:

1) British Aerospace Hawk T.Mk.1, No.151 (Fighter) Squadron, Royal Air Force Chivenor, Devon, England, July 1983

2) British Aerospace Hawk T.Mk.1, No.208 (R) Squadron, Royal Air Force Valley, Anglesey, Wales, April 2016 – Squadron Centenary scheme

The agile and reliable BAe Hawk T.1 has been providing the Royal Air Force with an effective advanced jet pilot training platform for over 40 years, replacing the Folland Gnat in this role. With over 1000 aircraft produced, the Hawk has also proved to be one of Britain’s most lucrative post war aviation export successes.
