The Hawk T1A was introduced to replace the Hawker Hunter within Tactical Weapons Units, with 89 airframes modified to carry AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles plus a centreline gun pod. The type worked alongside Phantom and Tornado interceptors in the Mixed Fighter Force, and display aircraft used the gun pod as an oil tank to produce smoke.
This Hobby Boss 1/48 kit reproduces the Hawk T MK.1A's lines and panel detail, offering modellers a detailed cockpit and a coded parts layout for a satisfying assembly. The extensive parts count and engine detail reward careful painting and finishing techniques.
