Ian Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Kit - Italeri (Esci) 1:48Paint - All enamels over acrylic base-coatsDecals - CAM 48-042Extras - AGM-45's from Hasegawa weapons set, Mk82SE's from spares box.Douglas A-4F SkyhawkVA-152 'Mavericks'Assigned to the Air Group Commander CVW-8USS Shangri-LaTonkin Gulf, Mid 1970 Built for the Skyhawk GB over at www.kiwimodellers.com, Not one of my best builds but alongside my Hasegawa A-4C from quite a few years back, it looks fine. Surprisingly for a kit that traces back to the very early 1980's this went together with little fuss, any problems were entirely down to my own deficiencies and impatience, and little to do with the 'plastic'. Thanks for taking the time to look and/or comment. As ever all comments, questions and criticism are welcome. Next, a trip in to the unknown for me, a sci-fi kit with my No1 son...

Darby Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Gotta love an A4 with a load. I sat in the cockpit of one of these in Puerto Rico in 93 and talked about a cramped cockpit. No wonder it was called the 'Scooter.' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody who doesn't know what a scooter is, must be a Russian spy! Great job indeed! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
