HT's Tonka GR4 (in a week ish). *COMPLETE*


Recommended Posts

As title states, started this Thursday so thought id bring this to the party whils i do the final toushes on my tomcat.

I shall be converting the tonka to a GR4 using Colin's conversion and the Combat Decals Libya sheet so this will be ZA542/021 of 31Sqd. Ive taken some pointers from MPaul's thread. This will be a speedy build so details are a bit thin but we've all built one of these before, havent we?

Cockpit painted and assembled., gun port filled and sanded.

Tricky bit with the wings and the tabs that hold everthing in place.

But managed to seal both halves with everything in place.

Nose and intakes met the fuselage.
