Hawk Medium Attack Helicopter

The Hawk is a twin-engine medium attack helicopter manned by a single operator. The engines are mounted amidships and power the two-blade rotor and a conventional tail rotor. Later versions have four-blade rotors.

The Hawk is armed with six anti-armor guided missiles, two fixed small ER lasers, and twin autocannons mounted in a nose turret. Landing skids are used to save weight and reduce complexity.

The Hawk is well armed for it's size but is lightly armored in order to attain a high degree of speed and agility.

Builder's Notes: helicopters seem to be a natural to the MechWarrior world. It made perfect sense to model some of them. I really like the bubble canopy, it reminds me of the Huey AH-1 attack helicopters used in Vietnam.
