So I have a few ideas for builds involving either a T-45 Goshawk or based on the aircraft such as my F/A-45 or as something else. Only problem is that I don't have enough of the Italeri T-45's in my stash to do what I want and the prices look a little too steap for my money on eBay, although I could be missing a bargain somewhere.

So if people coould keep an eye out for these it would be appreciated  :thumbsup:

Thanks in advance

Chears Lee. Oh, I managed to find a set of the Sweedish Decals for the PR.19 as well.

If you are looking at the Italeri T-45 kit you could easily use their Hawk kit as the changes are so slight. From memory you need a bigger tailhook and some larger strakes underneath.

The undercarriage bays are different as is the under nose profile and the nose undercarriage bay as well. All the boxings I have seen so far get the wings wrong on the leading edge as they are based on the early T-45 versions which do not have the leading edge slats.

Accidental Loggie is sending me a couple of kits he has spare which will go most of the way to satisfying the plans I have.

I am using the flaps from the Italeri Hawk 100 kit to rectify a mistake I made in planning on my F/A-45 though as those are the same size.
