Auto Credit Based on Audiobotguy03's Short SB6 Seamew (Updated)

Here's an aircraft that has never been done on SimplePlanes before.

The MS 15000 SparrowHawk was a two seat ground attack and reconnaisance aircraft built in the 1950s, the first prototype flew in 1958.

Engines:
One Turbomeca Astazou Turboprop

Basically, this was an attempt of mine to see if I could recreate this aircraft using my existing Short SB6 Seamew build that I built a couple of months ago, it pretty much worked out, and it even flies better than my Seamew, too.
