Just finished this over the weekend - was sitting on a shelf for a while begging for my attention - glad that I finally got around to finishing it off. It is nice to have the classic Intruder in my collection again after I sold my diecast one a few years ago. The old Fujimi kit finished in the markings of VA-75, The Sunday Punchers. There are 5 smart marking options in this kit but I went with this one as it has the cheeky Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club badge on the intake - along with an impressive mission tally. Airbrushed using lovely Tamiya acrylics, Flory wash for the weathering and sealed with Xtracrylics varnish. Built completely OOB - only had to drill the airbrakes out for a better look. I did have a nightmare with a bit of primer/paint bleed on the massive canopy which then took an age to try and put right (really hate canopy masking...) Anyway, enough waffle, let's have the photos....!!! Cheers all, Phil

1/72 Airfx A-4B Skyhawk, VA-95 Green Lizards, USS Intrepid, 1966 The lovely little Airfix Skyhawk, not without it's faults but builds up quickly and looks decent enough on display. I binned the awful kit supplied ordnance and added a couple of TER's to make it a bit more interesting. I have a few of these in the stash and was able to use a spare Lizard decal for the centreline drop tank. Cheers all, Phil
