Revell Hawk T2

[Scotsman]

Thanks for that  summary of the kit ,  the Revell Decal sheet seems to the only significant difference between the original Kinetic release , so I said before I'll pass on this one  

[Stokey Pete]

The Kinetic boxing is still available, and more notably, cheaper then the Revell. More decal options too. 

[Kagemusha]

The Kinetic etch sets are readily available from Lucky Model.

I received mine earlier this week. Only took ten days to arrive and cost less than £12 including shipping.

I to will be passing. I have an original Kinetic boxing. It stares at me when I walk into the man shed. ironically only cost me £35.00 when I bought it new!

Sorry gents, I should clarify. €44 was including shipping. If I order from Japan or outside EU or so it’s $35 or whatever better price than €44 plus shipping plus 20% tax when it enters the EU (anything above a value of €22, and the bastards add the shipping cost to the total) . So, the deal I mentioned is only a deal if you’re within the EU. Cheers!

I got mine today. PE Fret is included, markings for black RAF machines only. Thanks to MarkM |I will finish mine Korean or Indonesian. This sells on Amazon.de for 44 EUR, quite a good deal I think.

 

Hello, could you possibly let me know what it supplies for missiles on the wingtips? The revell publicity shot shows what look like AIM9s but all the photos I can see of real ones have what look like plain sticks (training missiles, or another type I don't know!)

 

just budgeting for what extras I may need to shell out for! Many thanks

Just launch rail and AIM-9L/M, or wingtip covers.  The Revell kit is just a rebox of the Kinetic Hawk 127/155 kit, with different decals (two all black RAF machines).

many thanks. I don't suppose you or anyone else knows what's supposed to be on the wings and if there any a/m available for them?

[Dave Williams]

I don’t think there are any options other than a missile rail, or a cover when the rail isn’t installed.  I’d imagine that what goes on the missile rail can vary a bit (e.g. various dummy missiles or acquisition rounds, ACMI pods, etc.)

[LSP_Ray]

Kinetic had at one time an alternative PE set to make some of the changes for the RAAF or NZAF birds (forget which) and EResin (EricG’s stuff) had a gun pod and other external hardware to finish out the conversion. I suggest searching for his build thread in the WIP forum.

As Dave said, the wing tip stations are cleared for AIM 9 sidewinders only (a launcher rail fairing covers this when no missile is installed). RAF T.2 aircraft can also fit the ACMI pod on them if required (what you described as a 'plain stick'). RAF T.2 (Mk.128) aircraft are not 'wet plumbed' for fuel tanks, so do not normally have the inboard wing pylons fitted (export Hawk aircraft do, so are often fitted with fuel tanks).

 

Another key feature of the T.2 aircraft is the Centre line tank (CLT), which is unique to the T.2 and Canadian CT115 aircraft - I do not know if this is included in the Kinetic/Revell kit (the RAF T.2 aircraft does not use the Aden cannon either, but export aircraft can).

Does anybody have the 1/32 decals for the Royal Saudi Air Force and the U.A.E. they might be willing to part with please?

Thanks Derek. From most of the pics I've seen would I be right then in that they frequently carry two of these ACMI pods? I've not seen any RAF examples with the AIM9's on. I'm not normally a princess over accuracy, but as there's not much hanging off these ships whatever is will stand out.
