stevehnz Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Nice. I've long thought this was the most attractive scheme our A-4s wore & yours is looking pretty good in it , keen to see it done. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Yes, nice looking Skyhawk.Can't wait to see it finished and if not for Hasegawa's erratic production of Skyhawks (All variants especially the early ones), I guess I would try one myself!

mumbles Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Lovely work (and my favourite/most nostalgic RNZAF Skyhawk scheme ), I have the Kahu version sitting idle on the bench at the moment while I figure out how to build the HUD and instrument coaming. My only query is are you sure you have the right size roundels? They look a little large for that scheme. Edited June 8, 2017 by mumbles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr B Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Cheers guys....sadly my modelling time is restricted....I hope to get some bench time in soon....and hopefully will be the last sitting to complete it...... mumbles..........yes I think I screwed up the insignia size.....will tend to it............thanks for pointing it out................the mirage needs some quality time as well............and boy oh boy its very poor in the fitting department. Aidy....I think there should be ...................but not sure about the roo insignia' though............I might sell the entire sheet as use the box option of 2 ocu but paint it with Green and Brown camo............have not decided.............will keep you posted Best Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Got it almost to the finish line. Just the clear bits to go lastly the mirage got some "love"...just about ready for final rub down and bath. Then onto painting. Will hold the nz scooter until the mirage is up to it. Sorry but the mirage is one ill fitting kitty best regards brian 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Uncool Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Mirage IIIE + Scooter, me likes! It might as well be our Argie Air Force. Always liked the Aussie way of painting your radomes. Awesome choice of kit brands, Mr B. Good choice of scale, too. Cheers, Unc2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
