Recognition

Slightly-swept wings mounted at the bottom of the fuselage. Top line of the fuselage curves up from the pointed nose to incorporate the long clear cockpit canopy then slopes down to the jet pipe, giving a humped appearance. Engine is internally housed with small circular intakes on the lower sides of the fuselage, forward and above the wing roots. Slightly-swept vertical and horizontal tail surfaces. Main external differences from the Hawk T1 include: a chiseled nose, wingtip mounted missiles, a centerline fuel tank and housing for a Radar Warning Receiver on the forward edge of the fin three quarters of the way up.
