About this Group
In December 1920 Hawker founded his first company H.G.Hawker Engineering Ltd. They made their first "Paperplane" that year, and thus it could be considered that they had their 100th birthday in 2020. However the first plane that got airborne was rolled out in December 1922, and had its first flight in JAN 1923. The Hawker name was maintained untill 1963, the Hawker P.1127 being the last to bear the name in1977 when Hawker Siddely became a part of British Aerospace. However the Hawker name were resurrected by Raytheon in 1993.
Entries for the group has to be somehow connected to Hawker during the timeframe December 1922 till this day. You make the case to discuss the relevance of your project, and any good connection is useable. That also means this group is not only airplanes, as other stuff had been made through mergres, e.g. locomotives!
Any item that can somehow be connected to the Hawker name during the past are eligible contributions to this group.
In order not to have too many long-running groups on iModeler the final date for entries will be december 1st 2023. That means no new entries will be permitted after that date but already started (announced) entries before that date will be allowed to finish in reasonable time after that date.

George @gblair thank you. I'm fairly new to a cutting machine, so I'm still exploring the options. After vinyl masks, cutting sheet styrene has been one of the options that I've been experimenting with. Thin […] -
@fiveten, @clipper, @johnb thank you for your continued support!

Your gear wells really look great with your Silhouette add-ons, Martin (@editor). My wife uses her Silhouette all the time to make greeting cards, and I have used it to make painting masks for my models. I have […] -
Fantastic results so far Martin (@editor). Nice to see some of your work. -
All looking great, Martin @editor The general look is already impressive. -
The Eduard Brassins look great, my friend @editor! The Typhoon looks very nice standing on its feet! -
I spent some additional time detailing landing gear pieces There were two types of wheels on the Typhoon. One typically associated with the type (to the right, this is a True detail resin replacement) looked […]

The wheel wells look fantastic, my friend @editor!
-
Those wheel bays do look amazing, Martin @editor I can imagine you're happy with the result. To me it looks very realistic, close to 100%

A deficiency of the Hasegawa kit are its barebone wheel wells. Back in the 1990s, wheel wells were generally moulded integral with the lower wing, resulting in "artificial" sidewalls which for the most part, […]

Thanks, Erik!

Thanks Erik, Spiros and George, refining my method as I go ! -
It makes my head hurt to think about rigging a 1/72 plane, Allan (@kalamazoo), but you have obviously figured it out. Well done.

Excellent result, my friend @kalamazoo! Oh yes! A pilot!

Ahhh - of course! Hiding in plane sight he is. . . Another very nice finished plane from the @kalamazoo works! -
1/72 Matchbox, just started with a bit of paint. ------------finished 10-2024.

Thanks my friends, Erik and John, I don't usually have a pilot !
-
That's a beautiful finish, Allan @kalamazoo Not entirely sure either what you mean, except that all of them are really nice.
-
Nice one crossing the finishing line Allan. Not entirely sure about the unusual bit, but I did notice the propeller mount and the fuselage/wing struts?
-
happy to find this one resuming production after correct parts has been found. Always a pleasure to find some well fabricated AM parts.
