1/48 Hawk T MK1A
HawkT MK1AThe Hawk T1A is a modified Hawk T1, was intended to replace the Hawker Hunter in the RAFs Tactical Weapons Units. A total of 89 aircraft were converted to carry two underwing AIM-9L Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and a centerline gun pod.
During the 1980s, the RAF began using TWU Hawks in the Mixed Fighter Force MFF concept. The intention was to attach three of four Hawks to a Phantom or Tornado Interceptor, which would guide them using its powerful radar onto enemy targets. This is also the variant used by the RAPs Red Arrows display team; the underbody gun pod is used to carry oil for the display smoke system.
