Jens Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 This is my VMA-214 A-4M Skyhawk from Hasegawa in 1/48th scale. Pretty much OOB except for a resin seat and TwoBobs decals...oh, and a resin 400 gal. c/l tank. And a teaser for another Skyhawk I have just finished...

mcdonnell Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hello,Jens - My compliments to you on a fine looking build of your 'Skyhawk'.Together with her sister aircraft on display I love the quality and detail of the paint and finishing work and commend the clean patina.They're both resplendent tributes to this charismatic aircraft.All the best,Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain goat Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Wow, very nice. Often the decals for lo-viz Skyhawks turn out too dark or too light, but this is perfect. A stunner. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Lovely finishes on both especially the -214 Skyhawk, it's too easy to go overboard with a grey scheme but you've nailed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air-to-Air Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Very nicely finished, congratulations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Thanks for all the comments. I really appreciate them! Nice scooter Jens ! ( Was it you that bought the Starfighter decal sheet ??) Thanks. Yes, that was me. It was my holy grail. Looks great, another one in the stash that I must get around to building..... Like the kiwi a/c too Thanks FF. I will post the A-4K pictures tonight. Wow, very nice. Often the decals for lo-viz Skyhawks turn out too dark or too light, but this is perfect. A stunner. Jay Thank you Jay. I did deviate from the Twobobs instructions, using FS36320 instead of FS36270. The TPS scheme used FS36320, and I know from one of my friends that using FS36270 would cause contrast (or lack of!) problems. Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
