Based on the good experience with the Miles Hawk trainer, which the Luftwaffe used to train reserve pilots, the Air Ministry decided in 1936 to order a variant of the Miles Hawk specifically for military pilot training.
It summarised its requirements in the T.40/36P specification.
The requested type was the first time in RAF history that a monoplane had been used and also broke with the rule in the early 1930s that new training aircraft should be metal. The result of the modifications to the Miles Hawk trainer was the Miles M.14 type, which differed mainly in having a redesigned cabin, seats for the use of parachutes, and a complete set of instruments in both compartments for blind flight training. Instead of the hard landing gear fairing with wide "trousers", a much narrower fairing was used and often the lower part was not attached.
The cell structure was made of wood, covered with plywood
Plastic model kit
unbuilt / unpainted
paint and glue not included
