Several Hawks were bought from the UK brand new and because of combat losses and "Pilot error" only one single seater and 2 dual seater Hawks remain in service with the Honduras air force now. These aircraft are now integrated into the small wing of F-5E Tiger II's that are still in full operational service with the air force. The 2 seater's are operational trainers, and also are fitted out with a cannon pod and wing tip aam rails.

Yes it is a Chinese bootleg matchbox kit, went together with only a little putty, but I enjoyed building it. I wouldn't mind a few more of these.

You've been very productive over Christmas Chris - I like this one.

I've had a few of these Chinese repops myself. Got them off E-Bay, even included a little tube of glue  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I found an old matchbox one I made bout 20 years ago when I was at British aerospace in Kingston......dark green on top n lighter underneath.....like a GR5 scheme.....I remember it as a nice little kit......had a lovely couple of photo prints from the marketing suite of the a/c in flight....

I wouldn't mind finding a few more of these, as they fit in nicely with my builds theme.
