Well she's Done!!

the pictures will follow in a moment but this is a Review after all so here's my conclusion

ITS FAB!!!!!

on a serious note, the lighting kit provides a touch of realism to the 1/32 hawk, at times since the big hawks release i have thought that it can just look like a toy, this certainly makes a difference.

Warren has produced a simple to install addition to the kit, the instructions on the lighting kit are easy to follow and its relativity easy to install, the only place i struggled a bit was building the wings and keeping the fibres in place, but that was more me than the fibres

the only other area that warrants very careful instillation is drilling the clear plastic, but if i can do it so can anyone, just take your time

i choose to do this one in flight using the stand to channel to wiring to the batteries, you could easily channel the wires down the legs (disguised as hydrolic pipes) that's how im going to do my next one!!

All in all :cool
