I have fitted the legs but they are very flimsy beginning to regret all that weight I fitted in the nose and under the driver's seat.

Only problem the manufacturer forgot to put the propeller in the box and I can't find a spare anywhere.

Why don't you ask if anyone's got a photo for the model that you are making...

Your Hawk 75 looks great, by the way.

That would help but I hate pilots in my models. Sorted it anyway I filled the cockpit floor with shot and superglued it in place, did the same with the nose wheel bay. I will paint it greyish black and hope it's not too visible with the canopy on.

If anyone notices, just tell them the aircraft was used to ferry cricket balls.

The great Australian cricket ball famine of 1955. It's the deciding test of the Ashes and not a ball is available any where in the southern hemisphere. A phone rings in the Air Ministry. Hello it's the MCC can you get a box of cricket balls to Sydney by tomorrow evening. A phone rings at RAF Ambridge and after a quick trip to the stores a Vampire is scrambled so a sporting competition to win a tiny little urn can take place.
