The BAe Hawk T.1 Red Arrows Revell 04921 is a model kit to be assembled at 1/72, representing the Hawk T.1 training and aerobatic aircraft in the colours of the Royal Air Force’s Red Arrows aerobatic team. This reference depicts an aircraft from the team based at RAF Scampton, in England, in March 2015.

The BAe Hawk T.1 and the Red Arrows

The Hawk T.1 is a British two-seat jet training aircraft. Its compact silhouette, low-mounted wings, and distinctive red livery make it one of the most recognizable aircraft seen at airshows. The Red Arrows use the Hawk T.1 for their formation displays, appreciated for their precision and synchronized manoeuvres.

The Revell 1/72 scale model

At a scale of 1/72, this scale model measures 161 mm in length and has a 130 mm wingspan once assembled. The kit includes 70 parts and allows you to reproduce the lines of the Hawk T.1 in its Red Arrows decoration.

The interior includes, in particular, a detailed cockpit with ejection seats, airbrakes, and a smoke tank. The decals provided allow you to create the decoration of the Red Arrows aircraft represented by this edition.

Assembly and finishing

Careful preparation of the parts, precise gluing, and applying a suitable primer all help you achieve a clean finish. The red livery, white markings, and decorative elements require special attention when painting and applying the decals. A gloss varnish can then help unify the look of the scheme and protect the markings.

This airplane model kit is an interesting subject for a display on landing gear or in flight—either on its own or integrated into a diorama dedicated to British aviation.
