Hawker 800 or U-125

[I.Martin]

During my nice civilian planes into military service search (more help appreciated <_< ),I found a really elegant plane,the Hawker 800 or her japanese variant,the U-125.My question is if it´s possible to find a kit of this plane at 1/72nd scale.

Thank for your time and help!!

Regards.

Can't remember off the top of my head exactly what BAE did to the 125, but you certainly need new engines and possibly a new wing

[MiG31]

Off the top of my head:

-new wing

-new engines

-stretch fuselage

-increased tail chord to take up the tailplane l/e

-completely new nose and windscreen

In other words, a pretty hefty order if you want to convert a -600 into an 800.

Agreed!

And Airfix has a model of the distant relative RAF Dominie T.1 trainer.

A better idea might be "if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with" - if you can find a copy of the out-of-production Max Decal Irish Air Corps sheet 72-01, you can build the Matchbox HS-125 as the "Irish Air Force One" that shuttled the Prime Minister around Europe. Nice looking aircraft.

This is the Airfix Dominie, from at least 30 years ago.

That heading photo plane looks like everything has changed.

Previous shot was out of focus - hope this one is beter

Or you can build the early RAF CC2 straight from the box
