Print Scale 72-493 Decal Hawker Siddeley Hawk Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-493 waterslide decals are designed for 1/72 scale aircraft models of the Hawker Siddeley Hawk, focusing on RAF Hawk T.1 and T.1A training and tactical weapons unit aircraft. This sheet provides serial-specific markings and unit identifiers covering multiple RAF stations and squadron/TWU combinations from the late 1970s through the early 1990s.

The Hawk is a British jet trainer used for advanced flying training and weapons instruction, and its unit codes and presentation styles can differ by unit and period. The options in this set include aircraft linked to RAF Brawdy, RAF Chivenor, and RAF Luqa (Malta), allowing modelers to build different RAF training-era schemes rather than repeating a single finish.

For modelers, the set is listed as universal and can be used with any compatible 1/72 Hawk plastic model kit. Because trainer aircraft markings often involve fine stenciling, consistent serial placement, and occasionally special tail or fin presentations, this sheet is generally recommended for advanced builders.

FAQ

Which Hawk versions are covered by this decal set?

The options are listed for RAF Hawk T.1, T.1W, and T.1A aircraft, identified by specific serial numbers.

Can I use these decals with any 1/72 Hawk kit?

Yes. The set is listed as universal, but matching your kit details to the selected option (T.1 vs T.1A features) will produce the most accurate result.

Do any options include guidance on paint scheme tone?

Yes. Some options include notes such as Medium Sea Grey upper surfaces and Barley Grey undersides, and one option mentions a gloss black fin presentation.

What is a good approach for consistent serial placement on a trainer airframe?

Many modelers use a gloss coat, apply the larger serials and codes first using panel lines as reference points, then add smaller stencils and seal everything with a clear coat after drying.
