On the Luckymodel hobbyshop we have just found a forebode of incoming 1:32 scale Hawk model kit.

The news item should read 'Royal Australian Air Force', not just Australian Air Force. I was in it for 21 years so I should know..

Maybe some things have changed recently?

It was taken straight from the published boxart so I have no idea what Kinetic had on mind.

I agree with the Aussie. And for what it's worth, ALL the listed Commonwealth items should be prefixed with "Royal"...!! I know the Canadian Air Force just returned to using the term "Royal" a short time ago, so there is a little "wiggle" room there for an oversight..;-) !

Sure, I've just added the "Royal" to Australian and Canadian AF.

Do we know if it is just painting/decal options or will the appropriate parts be available?

I don't know all of the ins-and-outs of the differences but from some research I did for a 1/72 kit the cockpits of the RAAF 127s are designed to look more like an F/A-18.
