Skymaster Large (1:3) Scale Hawk?
I was searching Google and found an image to what looked like a 1/3 scale HAWK, it looked like Anton was standing next to it. Is Sky Master making a 1:3 scale hawk???

Its an AMT Netherlands Titan.
Chatting to the owners the issue with the loud whisting noise has been resolved so its due to be flown again within the next month or so, and the pilot will be none other than our own Dave Wilshere!

The tailpipe/turbine gap was wrong! It robbed it of power and made it very noisy! I only used full power on take off and then had to go just about mid throttle, you hear the whistle come on when the drag comes before landing and I opened it up a little!
Looking forward to some decent testing with power and brakes!

Wow what a lovely model, whom is the builder? look forward to seeing it on the circuit some time.
Nice maiden flight DW, was it hard to concentrate holding a Tx that must have felt like Kryptonite to you Dave

Why is it that all the videos have people in the way? Seems that the guys in the front row could have posted a video with a better view without all those heads in the way.

This one is a bit clearer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDqfO8jhwR4
Test flight was nothing more than a prove it would fly, there were many doubters!
Mark...
Archie and Gary. Same team that did the Tornado in RCJI.
It will be at Gaydon LMA on the 27th.

I noticed nobody from Skymaster entered this thread to answer the question. Could someone from SM please dispel the rumors and give us something to dream about? It seems it's either SM or a Skygate/Tomahawk in that size range. What would be really awesome is a true T-45 but I know the world market may not support it. Thanks for your help
