How  about in 1975 the Italian Air Force decides that the Aermacchi MB339A does not offer a high enough performance to meet the spec for an advanced jet trainer.
After a careful evaluation of all other types for this spec,it selects the BAe Hawk with the wings being built by Aermacchi.
Hawk enters service in 1982 with Scuola Volo Basico Inizale Aviogette and proves to be a hugh success.
So what do you think?
Good idea or not? :thumbsup:
Really nice! :wub: :wub: :wub: :thumbsup:
Will die without understanding this world.

Lovely model!  Looks 'right'. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Terrific model, looks so right  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Very Very nice looking Hawk.

Luv it!

If your able to attend SMW10. Bring that along, It would be fun to sneak that onto the Hawk SIG stand :)
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

And my Japanese ones! :wacko:  And Captain Canada's CAF selection....just goes to show that the Hawk looks good in any colours :)

Bacofoil, you have the knack of turning out superbly finished models that just look "right", and this is another one :thumbsup:

Sales of Airfix kits plummeted in the 1980s, and GCSEs had to be made easier as a result - James May

Hmmmmm, in the stash I have an original 1:48 Esci Macchi 326 in that glorious dayglo orange plastic - a beautiful little kit..... What do you think, 4 FTS, RAF Valley mid 1970's..... decals from either a Hunter or Hawk.....  :blink:
