BAE HAWK T1 / 389 PCS 'Red Arrows' - COBI 5844

The Hawk T.1 of the British Aerospace Electronic Systems (BAE - ex Hawker Siddeley) is a terrestrial combat training plane developed since 1968 for training the RAF hunting drivers. To expand the possibilities of training, the Hawk was designed not only for air combat, but also as a light bomber, supporting earth troops. Another novelty was the seat of the raised rear pilot, which allowed the instructor to have a better view forward. After the first flight of the prototype in 1974, the entry into service with the RAF took place in 1976. The T -1 version marks the beginning of a long series of subsequent developments, up to the Advanced Hawk, a project possessed jointly by BAE e Hindustan aeronautics. Most of the planes of the t.1 and t.1a versions have been withdrawn from the service in the 2010 years. Among the latest users there are the "red arrows", which since 1980 have used nine aircraft painted red for their acrobatic shows. Scala model of 389 parts, printed blocks and mobile elements. Model dimensions (LXPXH): 24 x 19.5 x 9.5 cm
