Built for the Skyhawk GB over at www.kiwimodellers.com, Not one of my best builds but alongside my Hasegawa A-4C from quite a few years back, it looks fine. Surprisingly for a kit that traces back to the very early 1980's this went together with little fuss, any problems were entirely down to my own deficiencies and impatience, and little to do with the 'plastic'.

Thanks for taking the time to look and/or comment. As ever all comments, questions and criticism are welcome. Next, a trip in to the unknown for me, a sci-fi kit with my No1 son...

Nothing beats a colourful US Navy plane! Well, almost nothing...

It's slightly better than alright... it's just great!

Anybody who doesn't know what a scooter is, must be a Russian spy!

Great job indeed!
