  1. Here`s new model for my "Falklands War collection" - 1/72 A-4Q Skyhawk of Argentine Naval Aviation, code 3-A-305 (ex-US Navy A4D-2 serial 144929), Rio Grande air base, Falklands War, May 1982. Built of Airfix` kit A03029, which seems to be a quite nice kit, but requires a lot of work because of terrible and stupid errors (worst of them is bad nose angle). I think that old Fujimi from 1980`s is still much better than Airfix from 2012. I`ve used PE parts from Eduard, resin fuel tanks from Brengun, resin ejection seat from Pavla and decals from Condor Decals and DP Casper. Some scratch building was required (like Argentine antennas, guns etc.). Four Mk. 82 Snakeye bombs and MER are from Hasegawa`s 35001 set. You can see whole proccess of building here (in Polish): https://www.pwm.org.pl/viewtopic.php?f=851&t=87504
  2. I would like to share my current project here, it's a pair of 1/32 Trumpeter Skyhawks one A-4F to be converted into an A-4Q and one A-4M to be converted into an A-4AR A-4Q A-4AR Is quite a challenging task, specially the A-4Q which needs a new smaller nose, smaller intakes among other things. In this image you can see the different noses and intakes in the E/F and A/B(Q) Skyhawk versions. I started improving the cockpit with a homemade punch and die tool and some wire. Then I started to work on the nose, used a block of balsa wood trimmed to the basic shape Once I was satisfied with the basic shape, the balsa was then covered with putty and smoothed out. An intermediate copy was made in resin to give the final shape and scribe the panel lines. I found much easier to use small strips of tape to check the shape, if something needs to be sanded out it's marked, sanded an re-checked, this is where the resin is great, it's soft enough to be sanded but is not as softer as balsa wook. Finally the panels are marked with a pencil, now I have to copare what I did with some reference. Cheers!
