RE: Hawk longranger 30 build
here is the wal-mart special spotlight . I ended up cutting the head of the light off. of a imitation mag-lite and it is light-weight. I still have to even up the back of it and put a back plate on it

Mike~ That is super! Very nice job! Will be ordering mine soon, since I crashed my Caliber today. That gives me a reason to go ahead and order it. Take Care.

RE: Hawk longranger 30 build
Thanks for the comment, I have been real happy with it since this is my first sport scale. When you get yours in if you need any help on questions feel free to e-mail me. I usually hang out at the following link under the same screenname. I am starting a bell 222 with a pow/mia theme.[link]http://www.scalerchelis.com/forum/index.php[/link]

RE: Hawk longranger 30 build
That is fantastic! How difficult was the kit to build? Aside from the painting, just the kit assembly as a whole? Any modifications to the basic fuselage fitting on the mechanics? Also, are the windows difficult to install?

RE: Hawk longranger 30 build
The kit was real easy no mods really just might want to use hawk mechs if you get the thirty size. I would get the 46 size if I had to do it again. The windows are easy to do I just save them for last so I can work on the helicopter. THis kit was very fun to build, I now have a bell 222 on the table who knows what that paint scheme will look like. take care and if you need anyhelp let me know, I do ot mind helping out.
