I have not built one yet, but I have bought two, and have built the old MPM kit. The MPM is serviceable enough, if you can put in the work and make some bits from scratch. The MPM requires a bit of conversion to build as a Chinese Hawk III; it follows the surviving Thai example, which differed from the Chinese. Its vacu-formed clear parts are not too good. The decals have the Nationalist markings much too pale. Its cowling is very, very poor. The Special Hobby re-issue is derived from the older kit, but much improved in quality of moulding. It has the essence of an accurate interior, an accurate and useable cowling, and much better decals. It can be built without bother as a Chinese Hawk III. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
