The link you supplied goes to a Hawk scheme that I don't remember flying.
The RAF training hawks started to be painted with the blue tops in the
mid-eighties and were mostly repainted black by the mid-nineties. I
wonder
if this is a piece of modellers license? Anyway you mentioned a black
airframe so how about this one that was an official display jet a few
years
ago.

That's what I figured. It probably was done to provide the R/C pilot
something to reference while in flight. Little plane, low contrast, easy to
lose reference to it and have it fly away on you. Particularly when it's
moving at speed.
