BAe Canadian Hawk 100 resin and PE parts ?

Hi Chris,

Try here :

haven't tried their Hawk sets but the Lightning, Jaguar & Buccaneer sets are simply superb.

Happy modelling.

Hi Ant,

Thanks a lot ! I never tried the Neomega sets, but yes, it seems very nice ! I think I will order one...

Thanks one more time

Best wishes for the new year and merry christmas to you

That set is for the Hawk T.1, not the 115. the instrument panels are very different (CRTs in the 115) although the seats may be good (I need to check this). It does look like a set for the 115 is coming, though. I'll need to get that also when available. I have their jaguar set and agree it's very nice.

Hi Dom,

I have the 2 sets (T.1 and 100). So to have the available set is interesting, and to wait for the other also ;)

Thanks for your precision

What are the external visible differences between the Hawk T.1 and the 115? I have the 1/144 Welsh Hawk T.1 and want to convert it to a CT-155 Hawk 115.

Hi Bill,

I will try to tell the difference to you in a moment, but my English is really poor, and not sure you will understand...

For the moment I'm busy with my 5 children, but tonight I will try

The nose, wingtip missile rails, fin, tailcone, and wing fences spring to mind immediately. I'm sure that there are other small differences that you could afford to overlook in 1/144 : ) Have you looked at

yet? I'm sure that you'll find what you're looking for at you could look at more sites.

Lol !!! I'm trying to write that since my message... but why if someone tell it better than I could do, in a really better English than my poor one ? :o)

Yes Jeff, I have seen those and I have looked through Google. Since the earlier messages were from someone who had both kits in a larger size, I felt it wasn't an entirely stupid question. What I was looking for is how these items are different in the two versions: is the 115 fin the same width but just taller, or is it completely different? How the wigs different?

Okay. I'm no expert but as far as I can make out, the fin looks the same except for the various electronics fairings. The wing fences are smaller and there are 3 of them, the nose is most visible being extended in that chisel shape, and though it's hard to tell, I think there are some electronics bumps on the tailcone. If you pick up the Italeri kit, you'll see most of the changes.

"Bill Burns" avait prétendu :

Hi Bill, do you want a scan of the Airfix plans (Res Arrows and Hawk

100) ?

Thanks Jeff. Unfortunately, the Italeri kit is not the scale I'm working in. (1/144) See my reply to Chris's message for some of the info I've unearthed.
