T-45 in 1/48?


Recommended Posts

Not as far as I know, the only two Hawks in 48th were the Primere one from the early 80's that was not much more than a desk model and the Airfix Hawks...shudder. I have seen both built up very nice but as an average kitbuilder neither impressed me.

As for a T-45 that is supposed to be alot of minor differances to the airframe as well as the obvious ones (landing gear, hook) and I am not sure I have even seen a built up conversion of one at a show, though I am probably wrong.

Give 'em time someone will do a family series of Hawks one day, they are just too widely used to be ignored forever.

3rd Wire were planning to do a conversion for a T-45 but I'm not sure where that stands right now. I'd sure like to be able to build one.

I know that sharkmouths on some T-34C's mean that particular aircraft "ate dirt" at some point (gear up landing or accident). I wonder if shark mouths on T-45's mean the same thing?

I caught one of these guys not to long ago. I only wish I had taken more photos once it was on the ground. It's the only one I have even seen. I didn't get into position in time to grab a good photo. Oh well.

Maybe I'll try that kit out sometime. Neat little guy that wouldn't take up to make shelf space! :unsure:

That Boeing kit is just a re-pop of the McDonnell Douglas kit, which was in turn based on the original BAe molds. And look at that terrible seam on the bottom of the fuselage between the intakes!
