*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?

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?

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:



Standard Hawk 200 shown at bottom with modified "Attack Hawk" shown top.

Regards,

Greg

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




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.

 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

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) :) ;)

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?

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)

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
