Yet another ebay impulse buy occurred last Saturday following a few pints and it arrived today.
The new tool Revell Hawk. This rather neat little kit comes trying to be a modern hawk with 2015 Reds decals however it has the old style curved rear upper fuselage. Now this gave me an idea, make it into a very early hawk. As early as it comes, the prototype XX154 as it was when it first flew in 1974, looking something like this:-

The Revell offering will need a bit of modification, but not a lot. So things I know I need to change are as follows
Wing fences moved inboard and reshaped, - Plasticard
Absence of vortex generators. - wet & dry
Wide ejection seat head boxes - Scratch built or modified old matchbox seat Fritag style
So far I cant see any other changes needed. This sounds far to simple to be true so....
Anyone know what else is needed??
Thanks for looking
