Hawker Siddeley HS 1202-9 Peregrine

[andrewj]

This was a mid 1970's study for a fighter for the RAF , A long series of design studies over three years were mostly outside of AST,403 requirements. The 1202-9 would have been powered by a single RB-431 engine , essentially a straight-through Pegasus with re-heat.
The 1202-9 would have carried four sidewinders , two 27 mm cannon and a variety of tanks or weapons on four more under wing hardpoints.
Sometimes known as the British F-16 , it was an altogether larger aircraft , but this gives me the excuse to name it the Peregrine.
Model is 1/48 , uses many F-16 parts with scratchbuilt wings and carries markings for 23 Sqd RAF.

Wonderful

Twin fins are the outer wing panels from a hawk , almost exactly the right size and shape.
