1Fuselage Modifications
Cut line
Cut the Airfix Hawk T2/100 kit
fuselage as shown.
Clean up cut and test fit resin front
fuselage.
Should you wish to shown the air brake in the
dropped position, cut out the kit airbrake housing
as this is not well detailed. Glue in the resin
replacement noting the small fixing lug for the
air brake actuator goes at the back.
Part 2.
Glue the rear fuselage together and leave to dry.
Once ready, dry fit the front replacement fuselage
Part 1. Adjust as required to achieve good fit &
fix in place with super glue. Leave to harden.

2Fuselage and wings
First cut of the two lugs on each side
Of the fuselage. This is easier than drilling
Out the holes to rear of the intakes.
Test fit both intakes and ensure they are
Flush with the kit fuselage.
Note flush intakes to fuselage.
Once happy with fit, fine fill and
any gaps with filler. Note rear kit
fuselage section behind cockpit
is also fitted and filled.
Note, you should not have to use
Much filler in these areas.

Fit the wings Part 9 next and ensure
This lines up with the bottom of the
Intakes.
Once dry, fill in any gaps. I used Green
Stuff to show the extent of filler needed.

INSTRUCTIONS
• Remove any flash by gently snapping off, or cutting
with a scalpel and then lightly sanding.
• Only use Super-glue or a two-part epoxy glue to fix
parts.
• Gluing is easier if mating surfaces are slightly sanded to
roughen the resin before gluing. Also clean off any dust
before gluing.
• Before paining, thoroughly wash all parts in warm
water with detergent.
• We recommend the application of a base coat in a
light colour to show any blemishes prior to final painting.
WARNING & SAFETY!
• These parts are moulded in polyurethane resin.
Please take care when sanding and cleaning up the
resin by wearing a dusk mask or other protective
breathing device to avoid inhalation of the dust
particles.
• Wash hands, resin parts and the work surface after
sanding resin.
• When using Super-glue or two-part epoxy glue, please
take precautions to avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• It is also advisable to wear a mask to avoid breathing in
any fumes from the glue or work in a ventilated room.
• The use of barrier creams on hands or wearing
disposable gloves, and working in a well ventilated
area, is strongly recommended.
• Not suitable to children under 14 years of age.
