Hawker Hind series

I started building the Hawker Hind as a sort of alternative reality development line from Hawker running alongside the Hurricane and Typhoon/Tempest. As with a lot of aircraft of this era I always anticipated that there would be multiple Marks of aircraft (look at the Spitfire, 24 different Marks). So I started simple, a single piston engine (albeit counter rotating propellors), monoplane combining a lot of design styling from the era, in later revisions things get more complex, role specific and experimental.
