Default Tomahawk-Design Bae Hawk 1: 3.5

On request of various other builders (See Skygate Hawk build - virtual manual) I have started this thread on the new Tomahawk-Design Bae Hawk scale 1:3,5.
I'm not that much of a forum-poster, mainly due to busy work schedules, but I'll do my best to inform the readers.

A word of caution: I'm still working on my F-104G Starfighter (1:4) so for now this will be just an introduction only.
The actual build will take place within a few months and if others, who have ordered this Hawk too, would like to post their build info, please feel free to use this thread.

As with most new projects, I anticipated delays, but the delivery was postponed only one week due to testing of the welds on the landing gear.

So, on Sunday december 13th, a 3,5 hour drive brought me to Florsheim near Frankfurt Germany where the delivery took place.
A very nice workshop indeed and all parts were laid out for me, nicely grouped and small parts packed.
Andreas gave me various tips regarding the build and after an hour or two we started packing.

It's huge! We used a Volvo V70 and really needed all the space to cram everything inside.
Luckily, a large fuselage can contain the smaller parts, and their's lots of them!
Weight is light though, with the front part measuring only 719 gramms.

Build quality is excellent and a CD with photo's is provided.
The important stages are on the CD, but some more photo's would be nice and I was told they are working on that.

The scale landing gear is of a very high quality too, and like all parts its big, see the paperclip on the tire.
Below are some photo's of the main items of the delivery package.
