    Hi everyone!


    This was a gift to my sons from one of their teachers. Once brought home, I was forced to start building it with their help. Here it is right now...
    More to come!

    Good one my friend, keep those kids interested Spiros, just for inspiration, a reminder of how my build from the YotCat GB came out, a 2000 boxing !

    What a wonderful gift, Spiros @fiveten
    The only thing I received from my teachers was homework 🙂
    An excellent start on the Hawk, I'm sure QC1 and QC2 are interested to follow this build closely.

    Since it is mostly parent build with children mainly cutting parts off sprue trees and then monitoring 🤭, I decided to add some extra detail at the wheel bays, to look busier...

    Some putty applied also.

    I am sure your kids appreciate the help on this kit, Spiros (@fiveten). I have always thought that the Hawk series are some really elegant planes.

    Thank you so much, my friend @kalamazoo! Yes, I have already read your build thread on your wonderful RAAF machine! I am tempted to use the kit decals, which depict a bird in "factory" markings, prior to delivery. Markings are a mix of British and Australian, looking very interesting. The decals are not that accurate, especially the roundel shades, but I might be able to live with it.

    Very nice addition to the wheel wells, Spiros @fiveten
    Most important is that both your boys are involved into this build.
