RQ-4 GLobal Hawk


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I have the Unimodel RQ-4 which I am planning to build this year.

As I understand it, the kit is a Block 10...

Can anyone advise as to the difference between that and the later blocks? I recall reading somewhere that the Block 20 had longer wings? And does anyone have any drawings / plans which would be of help?

Many thanks in advance

Chris

The Grumman site has a bunch of specs on both the Block 10 and Block 20. Block 1o is 116.2 in wing span, 44.4 in length and 14.6 in height. The Block 20 is 130.9 wingspan, 47.6 long and 15.4 tall, so there are some differnces. The payload is greater for the Block 20 also. Check out their website and be sure to go to the gallery. Don M.

Here are some more images I found, pretty cool stuff. I have always thought the GH was an awesome bird. The first link shows the size difference between the Block 10 and 20.Don M.

I am building a 1/48 model made by Attic so don't get excited.

The wings are 100% useless, warped and uneven in thickness, shape.

The fuselage is OK. No landing gear or antennae.

No decals.

Am I the only one who'd rather see a new injection molded kit (in either 1/72 or 1/48) of the Global Hawk than a new kit of an A-6?? This thing is awesome!

J

Not by a long shot, Jens. I don''t need another A-6. Please make my Global Hawk in 1/48, though.

I am glad there is a kit, although crappy.

I built Antares' little predator drone in 1/48 in a weekend. Very nice build.

The only thing I didn't like was the landing gear legs. I had to sand them down considerable to

make them look more realistic. they were too thick.

No, you're not the only one. I would also love to see a plastic injection molded kit of the Global Hawk, preferably 1/48, but I would also accept a 1/72 one. In fact, I would like both the Block 20 and the Block 10 versions. ;)
