Howdy hisham,

Unfortunately that first photo (ie "without pants") is not a Hawk; it is a Miles Magister!!

But don't let this spoil your choice.

Stay lucky,
Best Regards,
wurger

Cause I was searching the net and this was the
first pix I found...!

However, do you have any kind of info about
the quality of the plans from www.modelactivitypress.com
from your side???? ie U.K.
Cheers
Hisham

Howdy hisham,

Have contacted a number of modellers, none of whom unfortunately have any personal experience of the MAP Hawk plan.

A number of them have experience of other MAP scale plans and the indications are that they are generally good in terms of accuracy and fit of parts. However this does not necessarily mean any individual plan falls into this category.

Unfortunately I am unable to help on this matter.

good luck,
Best Regards
wurger

Thanks any way........
Kind regards
Hisham

Guys
There is a review of these plans
in the January/February 1998 Flying Scale Models magazine
anyone has this issue????? would love to get a copy??
Thanks
Hisham

Be very carefull about the Miles Hawk family of aircraft. I have been researching this airplane for several years and have found limited information. I am building a Miles Hawk G-ADNL from scratch and the wings are different than other hawks.

Some hawks have a straight center section and then tapered outer panels. the Hawk that I am building has the center section removed and only has the outer panels, it was built for racing.

If you can find it WINGS OVER WOODLEY, by Julian C. Temple has the best history of these aircraft is have seen so far. Many of the hawks were one of a kind custom built for racing in the 1930's. This is a hardbound book from england.

If you decide to build make sure your documention, 3-view and photos match your plans. When I started my project I got two different plans of Miles Hawks and didn't like any of them and decided to build from my own plans to match my documention.

Good luck,
Fred Cronenwett

Hi Hisham
I have the MAP 1/4 scale Miles Hawk Speed Six you are referring to. The accuracy of the plan is good. all wood fuselage with foam outer wings. You can obtain it from MAP Plans service(www.flyingscalemodels.com).
Other Miles plans can be obtained from:

Thanks for the reply,
Very informative, did you build the 1/4 scale Miles Hawk

Hi Hisham,

I hope you are doing well. Yes there are plans of the Miles Hawk Speed. The British magazines have made a few plans available over the years including NEXUS PUBLICATIONS (forgot their website address) but yesterday i also bumped into the FLYING SCALE MODELS magazine and they have a 1/4 scale one. Locate them here:

www.flyingscalemodels.com

The price of the plan is 19 Pounds Sterling.

Good luck with your project.

Regards

Reuben

Thanks for the reply Reuben
In fact long time no hear..... The Stuka is progressing fast
will be sending you a pix soon....
I am looking into a new Winter project, the Miles Hawk is
one of the priority projects????
There is a review in the FSM magazine, but it is out of stock
hope some one will read this post and have this old issue,
would love to read the review of this plane before purchasing the plans!

Keep in touch mate,
Cheers
Hisham

Hi Hisham,
Great you are progressing on the Stuka. I have put aside my Mig-15 mold for the moment as I embarked on two concurrently build, one being the turbine trainer Kangaroo and the other is the DC-3. The latter I have a fiberglass fuse and am utilising the Ziroli DC-3 plans to build the rest of the plane. Incidentally the fuselage mates well with the Ziroli wings and so that is what I have decided to build as a first.
With regards to the HAWK I will look through my magazines and if I have the write-up of their plans than I will scan the pages it e-mail it.

Regards for now

Reuben

Reuben
The review is in the
hope you have it!
Thanks anyway...
and Best Regards from my side
Hisham.

I've got those 1/4 scale speed 6 plans... got 'em from the designer in Australia!
Played a fortune and they weren't anything nearly as well drawn as the ones that where publish in the UK magazine a few years later.

There is a 6'er hangered with the Shuttleworth collection, a real beauty and I was even in discussion about purchasing it some years ago...seriously. Went with dot coms instead and well... you know the rest of the story.

The engineer was telling me that it had a different wing, can't remember what he said but it was different from the plans I'd bought.

Needles to say, that was enough to halt the building proccess.
I'd love to catch up with this project again as the 'worths 6 is a stunner!

Hi Hisham,

I found the write-up and have 10 pages for you which i scanned this afternoon. I will be sending them slowly by email because they are somewhat big even though they are in JPG format.

Hope you like them

Regards


Reuben

Thanks a lot mate,
I really appreciate this, will be waiting for your emails!
Hisham.

Hi Hisham,
Sent you 10pages and you should have received them by now.....enjoy!!

Regards

Reuben
