About The BAE Hawk

The Hawk T Mk 1 is powered by the Rolls-Royce Adour turbofan and is capable of reaching a maximum speed of approximately Mach 0.84. The Hawk T1A variant was further developed to replace the Hawker Hunter in RAF Tactical Weapons Units, adding operational capability while retaining the type’s excellent handling.

• Designed to equip RAF training units in the second half of the 1970s
• Known for great manoeuvrability and efficient running costs
• Hawk T1A modification included a centreline Aden 30 mm gun pod
• Capability to carry AIM-9L Sidewinder air-to-air missiles
• Adopted by several air forces worldwide; the T1A continues in service with the RAF “Red Arrows” aerobatic team

This Italeri kit presents the Hawk’s distinctive lines with multiple marking choices provided on the super decals sheet, supported by clear colour painting guidance. A fitting project for enthusiasts of modern RAF trainers and aerobatic aircraft.
