BAe/Hawker Siddeley Hawk Family GB **Complete & Archived**

[TeeELL]

Paul, you need to add:
Australia
Bahrain
Canada
India
South Africa
USA

to your list of operators.

[PaulBradley]

Indeed - they weren't originally included as my first intent was Hawk T.1 and family only, not T-45, 100 or 200 series. Thanks for the reminder!

[TimJ]

I'll join in with this one as I've got a few Hawks in the stash.

[PaulBradley]

Excellent, Tim!

We're just a couple of weeks away, so time to start thinking about what you'll be bringing to the party.

As leader, I feel I should set a good example and will be attempting two builds. But I'm not telling you which just yet.....

I'll create the forum later this week so we can start our build threads.

[TeeELL]

Well,
having got some practice in with 2 Hawks for the Matchbox GB, I am considering the first Hawk in which I went solo (or perhaps the first Hawk I flew) and the Hawk in which I flew my final flight, some 4,500 hrs on type later.

I've just renewed my Airfix Club membership and the Club kit for 2022 is a pair of Hawks with marking for XX154 in a "first and last" themed markings design, so if it turns up in time I shall build it/them.

[PaulBradley]

Excellent choices from both of you!

[TeeELL]

Hi Paul,
when will you be opening up this GB? I’ve ‘Previously Builds’ to add ;)

[PaulBradley]

Wow, you ARE keen!

I usually open up GBs about a week or so ahead - I'll do it later this week.

[DavidWomby]

Wow, you ARE keen!

I think Tony may be a Hawkaholic.

[beany]

Yeah Tony, stop being so Hawkward

Hi Guys,

I'm afraid I'm going to have to give this one a miss sadly, I already have three pointy grey jets on the bench and tbh, I'm getting a bit board of building aircraft at the mo - I feel the need to spend some time doing some miniature painting!

Sorry about that, and I hope the GB goes well.

Cheers!

[PaulBradley]

No worries, Stuart - we all go through phases.

[beany]

This arrived today, so it looks like I will definitely be in!



Cheers
Al.

[PaulBradley]

That's cool! Will you be doing both?
