Plastmodeller från Italeri

The  Hawk T Mk 1 was developed by Hawker  Siddeley, today part of BAE Systems, to equip the Royal Air Force  advanced training units in the second half of the 1970’s. Its   aerodynamic configuration is characterized by the two-man tandem  cockpit and by the low-mounted wings. It is powered by a  Rolls Royce  Adour turbofan engine able to guarantee good flying  performances. The  Hawk has a very good maneuverability and it is considered one of the  best subsonic trainer.  The Hawk T1A version was, more in details,  developed to equip the RAF’s Tactical Weapons  Units and it can be armed  with two air-to-air AIM-9L  Sidewinder missiles and a centerline Aden  gun pod. It achieved a  good commercial success and it was adopted by  several Air Forces around  the World. Further more, the Hawk T1A, in a  modified and     dedicated version, is currently used by the Royal Air  Force  aerobatic team “Red Arrows”
