If its happening "sometimes" then you are touchdown too fast this times.
You may also want to check your wing incidence as it might be too "positive".When you look your model from the sides the wing should be parallel to the ground.
Check the oleo legs .If your mains are empty for whatever reason, then your nose leg holds your wing at positive incidence and cause it to bounce.
I never had a bounce landing with the Hawk.
