Why this kit matters
The Hawk T Mk.127 is a variant of the British-designed BAE Hawk, tailored for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) as a lead-in fighter trainer. In 1997, the RAAF ordered 33 Hawk 127 aircraft to train pilots for transition to more advanced fighters like the F/A-18 Hornet. These aircraft are operated by No. 76 Squadron at RAAF Base Williamtown and No. 79 Squadron at RAAF Base Pearce. The Hawk 127 is powered by the Adour 871 engine and features a digital glass cockpit, making it a modern and versatile training platform for the RAAF.
This model kit captures the sleek lines and distinctive features of the Hawk T Mk.127, including its unique cockpit layout and Australian-specific markings. With over 180 parts, including photo-etched components, this kit offers a satisfying build for modellers looking to recreate a piece of modern Australian aviation history.
