I've just completed the new Nimix Hawk launcher and have another to convert into the M113 variant. anyone have good references for the radar unit. So far I've found the old Revell History makers set but it's overly large (1/32?) and not well detailed. any help greatly appreciated.

Josh,

IMHO Vim Vink would be the best source of Hawk system information. He did a complete rebuild of the old HAWK kit from Renwal. His web site MIL-MOD has a article under his construction article tab. His is a member if Armorama (I just couldn’t find his member profile) and he is an excellent resource. I’ve exchanged information with him in the past and he should be more than willing to help.

Josh,
Here is a picture of a Hawk mounted on a M548, this may be the M113 variant that you are refurring to.

Here is a link to more Hawk photos as well. It is the US Army ADA School Homepage.

Hope these help.
