No...not the floaty thingy...

Just read over on ARC that Kinetic have a 1/48 T-45 Goshawk coming out this year.  Anyone heard when?  I cant wait to make one up as one of the six leased by the RN and operated out of Pensacola after the decision to make an interim F-18F buy while waiting for the F-35C to mature.

T-45D.  Not sure how it was supposed to have looked, but my idea would be to graft a Hawk 100 nose on to it.  The synthetic apeture radar should fit in there fine I guess.

I came up with a quick & dirty image of a "Hawk 150" a little while back.  Hawk 200 canopy on a Hawk two seater frame.  Cut down the fuselage to match or add an A-4 style hump, comes out looking quite bit a like a Skyhawk.

Already done in 1/72, albeit with the Matchbox 200 nose ( and Italeri -100 too ) http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,22208.0/highlight,sea+hawk.html

I would like to build a USN "A-45" to fill out the flight decks of USN carriers, or perhaps a new bird for the Brasilian carrier.
