Hi folks,
A thread for your Hawk/Goshawk Ideas and Inspiration.

To begin with (and inspired by deathjester's recent Royal Navy SeaHawk II (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=1891.0)), what about a USMC A-45 Goshawk Light Attack Aircraft. Base it on the Hawk200 single seat version and have it operating in a STOBAR fashion from Ski-jump equipped LHAs/LHDs instead of HArriers.
-
It might require conversion around the cockpit area on a standard 2 seater Hawk kit to make a single seater, unless one of you has a stash of -200's...
-
I quite like that idea, I've got a 1/72 '200' in the stash too. I'll look into what is involved with dropping it in rubber and make some copies.
-
Hi Guys,
As Deathjester has used an Adour 25R with afterburning for his Seahawk II, what other engine could be used without too much surgery?
And there's me thinking about shoe-horning an RB199 minus the A/B into a hawk with a major re-design of the rear fuselage.
Any comments?
Ken...

Oh, yes please!
That would make a great whiff kit...
-
Of course rather than have to use a Hawk 200 conversion one could always either fill in the rear cockpit with electronics or fuel or similar or even go the 'whole hog' such as this:

A Goshawk Chris did for me a while back as part of the Greater Australia story:

Speaking of the Goshawk, I see Lucky Model are taking pre-orders for the new 1/48 Kinetic T-45:

I like the idea of keeping the two seat shape. It does have certain advantages if you look at a corollary design:
Aero L-39 Albatros as a base design:
(https://i.imgur.com/gTXb9pM.jpg)
Turns into Aero L-159 ALCA, Rear cockpit area kept for electronics, nose design adjusted for radar related gear:
(https://i.imgur.com/N93SxE8.jpg)
Retaining the two seater layout allows for L-159 specific trainer to be built:
(https://i.imgur.com/1jp9qZP.jpg)
Granted the L-159 is, barring the family resemblance, a completely new aircraft with no parts commonality to the L-39, but it still does show the wisdom of keeping the rear pit area available. The idea is not without other precedent as well:
The Mitsubishi F-1 kept the rear cockpit area of the T-2 that it was derived from.
The Sukhoi Su-39 was derived from the two seat variant of the Su-25.
One thing that I think would make an interesting alternative to a radar equipped Hawk would be one with a nose extension to house a laser designator.

I like the 'bubble' type canopy of the '200' for better all-around visibility. But if you look at it, the '200' pilot is actually sitting where the back seat would be on the Hawk, and it would seem all they've done is fill the front seat area with equipment
-
I wonder if an F/A-18A Hornet canopy would fit on a Hawk 100 ?
Does anybody have a kit of each so they can offer the two up to each other? :)

Variation with FLIR nose and avionics in rear cockpit. Should also allow for increased all round vision.

Im liking this setup.. It just "looks" right... Also it reminds me of certain F-15 variants... Not sure of the nose though
-
How about a Harrier GR9 nose?
-

Or one can acquire the Neomega conversion kits. I most definitely want to get one of their 1/48th ones to use on a Kinetics T-45C.

Outstanding!!! :)

Not sure of the nose though
It is basically the nose of the latter versions of the Hawk:

I've decided to bring this back up as I don't want to completely derail the new acquisitions thread.
I recently bought Airfix's 1/72 Hawk T.Mk.1 and have decided to have a go at a light attack variation
The premise is this:
The entire Hawk 200 program is shelved. Initially this is the result of lukewarm response to the type by potential customers; however, the 1986 crash of a demonstrator aircraft which killed the pilot was also key in the decision to halt work on it.
One comment that BAe reps heard frequently from potential customers was that they might be more interested if the attack version had more commonality with the baseline Hawk for ease of maintenance. Several said that they would happily forgo the radar in favor of optical and thermal targeting devices.
With this information, the representatives recommended engineers and designers to work inside the existing Hawk T.Mk.1 lines to develop the attack variant.
The first step was to gut the rear cockpit and refit it as an avionics compartment. Some of the equipment from the nose was relocated into the new compartment to make room for an LRMTS fairing on top of the nose section. Consequently, the nose mounted pitot tube was relocated to the vertical fin leading edge.
Other changes were smaller in order to keep as much commonality as possible. Antenna fit was altered to fit the attack role, this included the RWR receiver on the vertical fin.
Some thought was also given to possible users in developing nations who might have rougher airfield conditions; as such, the landing gear doors were reworked to allow large sections of them to remain closed except on take off and landing rotations.
All of this resulted in a machine which the RAF, who ordered a squadron worth for evaluation, referred to as the Hawk Gr.Mk.3. The evaluation unit was given the 64 Squadron number plate.
When the new aircraft was put on demonstration, to many of the same countries the Hawk 200 was demonstrated to, the response was markedly warmer; particularly when the commonalities between it and the baseline Hawk were demonstrated.
Meanwhile, 64 squadron, who operated the type for a period of five years through the late 80s and early 90s, was gathering a wealth of data on operations with it and compiling a list of suggested improvements.
Enough orders were confirmed to justify production and many of the recommendations made by RAF pilots were instituted in the new Hawk 100 airframe seen in the profile above.
While the RAF ultimately saw the light attack Hawk variant as superfluous to requirements, they did take the Hawk 100 on as the T.Mk.2.
Several nations have purchased the light attack Hawk and others are considering it. It is often perceived as a direct competitor to the Czech L-59 ALCA; however, this is somewhat of a misconception as the attack Hawk has much more commonality with the basic Hawk while the Czech aircraft has only a family resemblance to the L-39 Albatros that it descended from and no commonality with it. As such, L-39 user nations would not enjoy the same benefits of ease of maintenance on the L-159 that Hawk users would on the Hawk 100 series.
From an operational standpoint, the two are comparable. However, from a selling point of view, the Czech aircraft has been largely sales proof while the Hawk continues to sell.
-
Hmm, just a thought for a single-seat Hawk 100 variant. Keep the basic avionics in the nose that it has now and take the path Aermacchi used with the MB-326K and MB-339K, fit two cannon as "cheek guns" and put the ammo storage and feed where the second seat was. This leaves all your hardpoints for other ordnance. Damn, now i'm going to have to play with this idea further.

Maybe, but does the Hawk actually have a centre line pylon or is that station specifically for the Aden cannon or travel/smoke pod?
The only time I've ever seen a Hawk with a centre line pylon was a single picture of one of the Hawk 200 demonstrators with a mock up Sea Eagle mounted.

Cool thinking.
-
*chuckle* It comes from having worked with Aermacchi on both the MB.326K and MB.339 (and seeing concepts, then, for the MB.339K). Damn, when I think back on it, that was forty years ago this past summer. It doesn't seem near as long.

*laughs uproariously* It beats the daylights out of not being around to do so.
I think I'll need to play with this concept further but I can see some definitely possibilities. I wonder if it would need Sabrinas like the Hunter did?
-
Sabrinas are always good. ;)
-
Sabrinas are always good. ;)
Yeah, and I'm old enough to have seen pictures of their "namesake". I'm starting to think a mix of bits from a couple first-generation Harrier gunpods and a couple suitable shapes would work nicely here. *grin* Perhaps extend the shell-collectors to add chaff/flare dispensers like the Swiss did?

Back when I was doing armed variants of my Goshawk II/Navalised Hawk 100 profiles, I did consider converting it to a single seater along those lines but wasn't happy with the way I'd shaded and weathered the blanked-over cockpit.
Comparison:

Refresh my memory on a couple of points, friends- the only kit of the Hawk 200 was the Matchbox
in 1/72? Its really one of the few "modern" jets I like, and I would like to build one some day.
And ..."Sabrinas"?
-
You're right, the only full kit of a 200 is the Matchbox 1/72 one, but Neomega do/did both a 1/72 and a 1/48 conversion to build a 200
http://www.neomega-resin.com/hawk.htm (http://www.neomega-resin.com/hawk.htm)
-
And ..."Sabrinas"?
The link collectors for the Hunter's cannons. Named for a rather buxom actress of the period.

Brilliant!
-
IIRC, there was, at least in the early days, a proposal for a Hawk 200 variant with a FLIR/LRMTS nose as well as the radar one. This was in the days when they were stil talking about it having 2 x 25mm ADENs in the lower fuselage.
I'm sure there was colour artwork with the attack version in the background and the radar version in front.
-
Well, it seems odd to me that with the extensive braintrust of creators in-house, nobody has come up with the definite, single seat, bubbletop BTS version of the hawk..... >:D :-* 8) :) ;)
-
Great one, José. You really hit it with this one!!
-
That looks spot on, Jose ! :D
-
Gorgeous piece of work there, Jose, and real tempting.
Weaver, I may try to do a Hawk 200 with the FLIR/LRMTS in the nose; 'twould be something different for a dedicated attack bird. I'll ahve to take inventory of all my kits to see if I can do such.
-

Well there is a challenge if ever I saw one...maybe an F-16 or F-18 canopy?
-
Nah i see Jaguar canopy..

My personal preference is bubbletop, teardrop shape like the ones you mentioned.
Would be nice if they had the cockpit a little more elevated, too
Edit: a quick-and-dirty graft (not that I would have made any better having more time)
-

Harrier --
-
I only meant going off Jose's profile... His profile looks like a Jag canopy to me...
But yeah if you want to stick to teardrop then yes Harrier... Deffo
-

Yes!
I'm not sure if the F16 and Harrier canopies are drawn to scale

Ok bit of a odd one... I have the old Airfix "Red arrows" Hawk (A68005) in my possesion and since it looks pretty nasty tbf ive decided potentially ruining it is no concern.. So a quick out of box is to be done. Might chill me out after the last build became a year long mission....
...But it has pylons ... and weapons in the box :)
Anyone know what parts go where if i was gonna use them !? :)
And by "if" i obviously mean "Will" ;D

How do you mean?
-
The drop tanks in the 1:48 Airfix Red Arrows kit look to be big enough for a current era Khemed to use as a pylon based recce pod.
(Checks stash....YeS! There is just such a kit already in possession)
-
It comes with proper pylons and what appears to be rocket pods and fuel tanks...
But all the pylons are different shapes so i cant figure out which pylons go where and with what on them :(
-
Oh, ok - larger/deeper pylons inboard, generally carrying the drop tanks, and smaller/more streamlined ones outboard for rockets, bombs, missiles etc.
If you need more of an idea, I'll see if I can find pics.
-
Nice one !! That should give me enough to go on :D
Pics would be nice though but dont panic its gonna be a lil while till then.. Im trying to fix up the cockpit still lol
Thanks again :)
-
Any luck on those pics deathjester ? Its mostly in one peice now so im onto fitting out :)
-

Is that a real 'load-out' Greg, or photo-shopped. I wouldn't have thought there was enough ground clearance going by my models of the aircraft, especially the Sea Eagle

It could carry and was trialled with such:

-
A-ha! now I see what they did, the u/c has been extended, all the kits I have of the Hawk has the trailing arm almost horizontal.
Just dug out my Goshawk and laid a Martel on the centerline, no way it could operated the way the gear is posed there.
-
Just been reading a piece on Pprune about the Hawk by a guy who was the photographer at Dunsfold (he may well have taken those pics ;) ). His opinion was that a lot of the stores "trialled" on Hawk demonstrators were just marketing stunts rather than realistic options. This applied to both Skyflash and Sea Eagle. Apparently, ground clearance with the latter was so marginal that it took them ages to load the missile due to having to wriggle it under the aircraft (remember when looking at it fitted that a substantial trolley has to get under there too).
The wierdest thing he saw hung on a Hawk was a Stingray torpedo! He couldn't get any sense out of anyone about how that was supposed to work. The standing joke at Flight Test was that Marketing had an Airfix kit of the Hawk and a really big spares box full of weapons which they dipped into at random... ;D
-
Here's a question, does the Hawk have the capability to 'pump up' the u/c shock to raise the aircraft for more ground clearance ?

Well, they appear to have tried it at least twice, with separate aircraft so it can't have been too hard...

A Stingray would be pretty pointless 'cause you'd need a separate "hunter" aircraft. I like that idea of an Airfix kit though. Sort of explains a lot about aircraft pictures... ;)
-
The idea of such a hunter-killer team suggests a two-seat Harrier with pods able to deploy MAD sensors and working with a Sea Harrier carrying a couple Stingrays. For the Hawk, or derivatives, it really doesn't make sense.

Hobby Boss are releasing a Hawk 200 in 1/48!
Got me thinking.......
CAC manufacture Hawk in Australia, co develop the Hawk 100 and 200 series and builds the aircraft ordered by Malaysia and Indonesia. Also produces hybrid Goshawk 100 and 200 series aircraft for the RAN and Brazil. The RAN aircraft fly from the life extended HMAS Melbourne and Adelaide (ex HMCS Bonaventure acquired in 1970 as a replacement for Sydney) from the early 90s, instead of the originally planned enhanced Skyhawks, along side the Turbo Trackers and Tracers. The type goes on to serve on the replacement carriers, the evolved WASP CVS (shallow angle, arrester gear and catapult) into the 2010s

I always use ezgif.com (LINK! (https://ezgif.com/webp-to-jpg)) to convert webp to other formats.

Carlos: If you're using Windows, you can convert webp images into different file types.
- 1: Right click on Greg's image;
- 2: Select Open image in new tab;
- 3: Select webp images as Take screenshot;
- 2: Past your selection into Paint;
- 3: Crop image in Paint;
- 4: Save as (your chosen file type)
Then you can open your bmp or jpg or whatever file in Photoshop, etc, for further processing.

I use Ubuntu and KolourPaint.
