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.

This looks impressive, Martin @editor I'm surprised how small this tool can go. -
That 1/48 panel looks excellent, my friend @editor. Very nice technique! -
1/72 Airfix, a slow to start build, -------- finished 12-2023. -
1/72 Revell, a slow start to build.

1/72 Airfix, a slightly modified FGA-9 kit,

I might add a bit to the instrument panel idea. Instead of cutting the holes with the cutter, simply cut out the panel and then use micro drills for the instrument holes. -
@clipper I definitely encourage you to give it a go on the next occasion! It is as simple as cutting vinyl, you only need to work out the blade settings. I use blade depth 6, force 33, 2 passes for the 0,2mm styrene. -
@gblair If you have access to a laser cutter, I believe you should be able to produce very fine detail without limitations shown below! Here is my experiment with an instrument panel for the Hawker Typhoon. […]

Very nice short-cut to add details! The brassin wheels look great! -
@editor Interesting approach for the bare walls of the wheel wells Martin. I absolutely agree with you regarding the rather plain and boring details the kit has in that area, so some extra detail goes a long way […] -
Yet another great use for Vinyl cutters in this wheel well truss Martin (@editor). I think back to my Hudson build from earlier this year and I did all that kind of work by hand when I could have done it using the cutter!

Thanks for sharing this info, my friend @editor!
-
The stuff that you are able to print is still pretty amazing, Martin (@editor). I can't imagine doing anything in 1/72 scale. My daughter has a really nice laser cutter and we are just starting to experiment […] -
Looks perfect, even in 1/72, Martin @editor An interesting website, thanks for sharing.

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!
