Help with T-45 Goshawk Markings


Recommended Posts

Hello fellas. 
 

I’m currently building a T-45 Goshawk for this mega project I have in the works, 1/72. ALMOST out of the Box. Couldn’t help myself. Anyway, I need some pointers. 
 

I’m trying to make the build either Corpus Christi or Kingsvillr NAS based. I’m mostly into civilian and F1 builds right now so I have no idea what to look for. And yes I’ve googled but I get way too many pictures of which most are from just about any NAS around. And I need them to be specifically Corpus Christi or Kingsville, any markings will do as long as they’re based out of there

 

thanks in advance.

There is a 1/72 sheet currently on eBay for a decent price:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125128163084?hash=item1d22383f0c:g:SZoAAOSw1T1h-PPk

I can only see UK postage quoted for it - but probably worth asking if they'll mail it to the US.

For T-45s just look at the tail codes to tell where they're from. T-45s are only based at three air stations (plus flight test at Pax River MD):

  • NAS Meridian MS - A
  • NAS Kingsville TX - B
  • NAS Pensacola FL -  F

So you'll want to look for any with a B on the tail.

There are none stationed at NAS Corpus Christi, but you'll see them there in/out (and at other areas in the US, both military and civilian airports doing training).

Yay nice but the seller doesn't ship to the US. I'm screwed 😕

I could buy and then forward it on to you - it would cost 2 or 3 GBP for postage, but will probably still be your cheapest option...

....send me a PM, if you'd like to go that route...
