Default RE: Airworld Hawk Building thread

Funny you should mention that now as I did a trial fit yesterday, it looks really terrific. What I particularly like about this aspect as the basic work is all done and one can enjoy adding all the small details to the ejection seats for example to really bring the cockpit to life. I did several photos of the seat OUT of the cockpit at Scampton so you can see all the details of it on the photo CD.

I compare this with the hours and hours of tedious work on my F4 and F15 cockpits, worth it in the end but what a lot of work.

Its raining in Sydney today (and aren't we grateful after the very serious fires just one mile away on new years day. !) so should be able to complete the wings.

Anyone know what the drilled and tapped hole is for on the top of the main fuel tank, a steady perhaps ?

Photos will follow.
