As it says in the title, I am looking for a two seat Hunter Nose, complete with interior and canopy for a slightly silly idea I had to graft it onto another Hawker product.

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

He said a 'silly' idea, so maybe it's a forward control Hurricane. with the Merlin in the middle like a P-39?  ;D ;)

There's not much 'interior' in the kit Alastair, it's just the rear bulkhead and the two seats all in one piece, no control panel at all AFAICS.

I have some resin copies of the T7 front end somewhere.  I'll dig one out.  You at Scale Scotland in Edinburgh at the weekend?

Nope, plastic is preferable as quite a lot of modification will be required.

A bit more conventional than that Kit. Perhaps the parts would fit in the box with the 1/144 engines you were going to send me?

Funny you should say that, they fit in there nicely.  ;D ;)

In the post tomorrow with luck.
