Thank you all. @Zebra The hump is is separate part. Here is the kit inbox https://www.super-hobby.co.uk/products/A-4F-Sky-Hawk.html

Thank you. To be honest it went together pretty much with no problems. The most time I've spend in reducing the seam line on the fuel tanks and Mk.82 bombs. There is additional decal sheet for this painting scheme and the transfers where bit more thicker then the others. So need more work to make sure they stay on the model. Few parts missing for the bulge on the top of the hull, but easy to scratch build.

Hi All, My second modern jet finished. I've enjoyed building it. For sure it is not the last one. WIP

No I don't Uncle. But you can tell if you wish. I hope the masks didn't fail. P. S. Yes, Warrington is in Hall 1 in Telford this year too.

If nothing go wrong with built is should be on the IPMS Warrington table. Haven't got a map yet, so do not know which hall we are, but usually it was 1.

Applied wash in panel lines.

Film on decals is quite thick, so I've cut most of them out trying to get a rid of clear sections. I think it went well. All done.

Thank you.

Not as much time as I wish. But target is to finish before Telford, so here is some paint job done.

Canopy looks and fit ok. I've replaced the front wheel, which was integrated with landing gear. I think it looks better now.

Thank you. Stuart, you can. Yes, indeed. I've got one mate work with me from this town as well.

I am from Silesia, about 25 miles from Katowice. I've move to UK in 2005 and started modelling here.

Thank you again. Yes Roger, Polish Navy get some more equipment as well. There was not much time to build an army after getting a country back in 1918 after over 100 years of no existence. Also in 1920 Russians attacked Poland and that didn't help. But I am proud of what ours nations done together in this hard times. Hope we do not will have to come through similar times again.

Cheers.

Finished

Hi, Finally I've managed to complete this task. I've enjoyed the build, but this is not my scale. So looks like next ships will by only in 1/350. Model originally is in water line option only. I've decided to have it in full hull. So all the bottom with propellers and rudder is my own work. To build this model I've used also aftermarkets such as: main guns - Flyhawk, pom-pom - Finemolds, PE designed by fiend and lots of scrtach. Just to show the scale...

Thank you. Nop, just cover for the wooden base. I've scratch build the bottom of the hull so is quite unique as manufacturer gave only water line. So, as I can't make realistic ocean it gonna be like this.

Nearly end.

Hi Stuart, thanks. All is about paint dilution. I am using Tamiya and for this job I've thinned them down ca. 1:10. So it is almost thinner with the colour of the paint. Pressure is around 1 bar. I've got a adjustable limiter on the back of the airbrush so the trigger is going back ca. 0.5mm. For small areas I am taking the protective cap off as well, so the needle is exposed.

More painting. Propellers

Cheers. Need to finish this project, so there is first painting.

Excellent build.

Beautiful models Andy. Are you displaying them somewhere so I can see them in real?

As usually nice piece of kit. I've seen this camo in Bovington and ages ago make similar one.
