RCarlson Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Okay I haven't had any luck with my search. Has anyone seen or know much about the Hobbyboss 1/48 Hawk 100 kits? Are they any good or is the Airfix kit the way to go? Also does it come with or does anybody make the centerline fuel tanks that the Canadians use? I've always liked the looks of these planes and have been wanting to do a Canadian or Australian one or maybe both. Thanks for any assistance.

No.11 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hi Ron, There is a review on the Hawk 127 at Aussie Modeller, http://www.aussiemodeller.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=12492 and some sprue shots at The Modelling News http://www.themodellingnews.com/2016/01/hobbyboss-february-2016-kits-what.html Hope this helps, Lawrence Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin K Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) I recently finished a Hobbyboss Hawk 100 and it is a great kit. The nose shape is way better than the Airfix kit and the detail is pretty good. It does suffer from a couple of drawbacks (lack of MDC det cord for the canopy, and fences on the leading edge of wing incorrect for the Hawk 100), but to me, they can be fixed with relative ease. The kit does not come with the Canadian style centerline tank, however, I did rework the Red Arrows smoke tank that came in the kit. It looks close enough after I was done with it. I'd highly recommend it. Edited October 21, 2016 by Colin K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
