1:48 Scale Model Kit: BAE Hawk T MK.1A Aircraft by Hobby Boss 81733

The Hawk T1A is a modified version of the Hawk T1 that was intended to replace the Hawker Hunter in the Royal Air Force’s tactical units. A total of 89 aircraft were modified to carry two AIM-9L Sidewinder air-to-air missiles under the wings and a central cannon. During the 1980s, the Royal Air Force began using TWU Hawks as part of the Mixed Fighter Force (MFF) concept; the goal was to attach three or four Hawks to a Phantom or Tornado interceptor, which would guide them toward enemy targets using its powerful radar.
