Corrections[edit]

I have updated the article to correct a number of typos and to address the following issues:

Hawkei is an Australian developed product, per WP:TIES spelling should be based on Australian English (armour not armor, -ised not -ized).
Per the Defence Minister's media release, Hawkei was selected as the preferred vehicle for the MSA option, the Australian Government is yet to select which option it will run with, so stating that Hawkei was selected as the preferred vehicle option is overstating things.
Whilst Hawkei has been developed in Australia and is a contender for Project Land 121 Phase 4, currently only prototypes have been produced. It is overstating the case to say in the info box that it is used by Australia - this implies that it is in production (as opposed to development) and is being purchased/used in production quantities.

-I agree about the inaccuracy of the variants section. Have you got any specifications on the different versions? All I have seen is the promo video. Djapa Owen (talk) 14:18, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Would also make a change in the variants section, it currently states that "all variants use the same four wheeled platform" This is not correct, the logistic support variant (Ute) has a completely different hull (King Cab) the back tray is different, so the only common section i the front assembly/engine. Have not been able to find in writing but in the youtube link the interview is conducted by Kym Bergmann, Editor from APDR, at 3.45 the different description begins for the Logistic Support version, he is interviewing Grant Sanderson, team leader for the program https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwaoOItHRVA
