Italeri 2813 - 1/48 BAE Hawk T. Mk.I scale model

The BAE Hawk T. Mk.I, created by Hawker Siddeley and later produced under BAE Systems, entered service as an advanced jet trainer for the Royal Air Force in the late 1970s. Designed to succeed the Folland Gnat, the Hawk is powered by a Rolls-Royce Adour turbofan engine and achieves speeds around Mach 0.84.

The Hawk T1A introduced a centreline Aden 30 mm gun pod option and the capability to carry AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles, expanding the aircraft's role beyond training. Its operational flexibility and low operating cost prompted adoption by many air forces and high visibility with display teams.

Scale modelling overview and presentation

The Italeri 2813 kit reproduces the Hawk T. Mk.I silhouette with fine moulded detail at 1/48 scale. The parts and decals support an accurate finish, making this kit appealing to modellers who enjoy detailed painting and marking work. Completed examples present well in single or multi-aircraft displays.

Will this kit need extra detailing parts?

The kit includes good baseline detail, but many modellers add photoetched parts or resin seats to enhance realism, especially in the cockpit area.

How accurate are the panel lines and surface details?

Panel lines are well defined and suit wash techniques. Light sanding and careful paint layering will preserve the engraved detail for a realistic finish.

Is the canopy provided clear and suitable for glazing?

The kit supplies a clear canopy that fits the fuselage; mask carefully before painting and use a fine glue application to avoid clouding the clear parts.

What finishing coat is best for decals and paint?

Apply a gloss clear before decals, then seal with a satin or matt varnish depending on the scheme. This protects markings and gives the model a consistent appearance.
