I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

That is a very good read, well done for finding it. I'd totally forgotten about starting this thread way back in 2003  ;D

But unlikely - you'd probably have to mate an 1:72 Hawk with an 1:100 A-4 tail?

LMAO - just found this independently and came here all excited to post the link..... ;D :thumbsup:

I'm glad you mentioned it, I forgot all about it!  I often pick up my various Hawk kits wondering what I can do with them.  I probably found the link on one of those occasions.

One of your ideas...

Mossie

I thank you!  I had thought about turning that into plastic, trouble is I lost the canopy from my Matchbox Hawk 200.

Mossie, how about using the 2-seater canopy? Fill the rear part and file it down a bit, and there you go.

Simon, the way you have worked that single canopy, it looks like a Harrier one, or a Jaguar at a pinch --

While the Hawk can be thought of as a state of the art Hunter. That single seater looks even more like it.  :thumbsup:
