Chip's Swiss Hawk***Finished***

I will try and get some better shots in the daylight tomorrow.

Apart from having to scratch build the wing fences and top antennae this was quite a straight forward build. I have a Matchbox one to do next so it will be interesting to see how it matches up to this and my previously built Revell kit.

Really nice build. The Hawk is looking like a different kind of beast in these Swiss markings.
