Default RE: Large Skymaster Hawk build

Mine finally arrived yesterday after being ash-stucked for some time
It was packed very well and arrived free of any damage from shipping as usual from SM. First impressions is that I am very impressed. Everytime a new SM plane arrives it seems like it's a step up in quality and finish from the previous one, and SM is IMO best in their class by far!
Paint and finish is very good, as vere the new and painted legs. Also ordered the underwing pylons (2 pairs) with drop tanks, missiles and the centerline tank that I may modify into a gun pod.
The smoke tank seemed to be missing, but otherwise everything looked to be there.

The newest generation Flugmodellbau lighting kit for the Hawk is in stock. Last week I got bags for wings and the flying surfaces from PullOver in Germany to protect it from day one. The 160 SX is in it's box on the shelf and the servos just came last week, so I got most of the stuff I need for build except time and motivation to stay inside and build.
The Hawk came a little later than planned, and after a long winter, the summer season is starting for full so not to keen to be stuck inside building, but will build a little now and then
Really looking forward to this one
