A set of vortex generators for the BAE Hawk T.2 model in 1:32 scale is made by 3D printing and replaces the small aerodynamic features that are usually missing or too coarse in a plastic kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item is not an aircraft model but a small accessory. Vortex generators are small upright vanes on the surface of an airframe that stir the boundary layer and keep the flow attached to the surface even at higher angles of attack. On a model they are an unobtrusive but characteristic feature that an expert notices at once. The set is made by 3D printing, which with parts this small and thin is an advantage, because a printed part can be considerably finer than any injection-molded or cast equivalent. It is intended for a model of the BAE Hawk T.2 advanced trainer in 1:32 scale.
The BAE Systems Hawk is a British advanced trainer and light combat aircraft with a single Rolls-Royce Adour engine. The Hawk T.2 version comes from the later development series of the type and serves for advanced training of combat pilots. Compared with earlier versions it has a digital cockpit with multifunction displays, a modified air intake and more modern onboard equipment that allows the systems of combat aircraft to be simulated in flight. The Hawk is among the most widespread trainers of its category and flies with a number of air forces around the world.
Before building, wash the resin parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove residue of uncured resin. Cut the print supports off with a fine saw or a cutting disc, never break them off. Level the mating surfaces with sandpaper and sand wet with your airways protected. They are glued with super glue, because ordinary cement for plastic does not hold on resin. Apply a primer before painting, as paint would otherwise hold badly on a smooth part. The printed parts are very small, so work with tweezers over a mat and with plenty of light. Mark the positions in advance from the drawing, glue the individual vanes one at a time and always let a joint dry before starting the next.
The accessory set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The basic kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
