Learstang Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 A brilliant job and a lovely camouflage scheme! I do hope your repair it; that's too nice a model to remain in a broken state. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger331 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 LOVE IT !. I've had one of these on my 'shelf of doom' for 14 years !. Planning to do the overall green one using Gekko's excellent decals. I'm 50% there and its just possible that your build will give me the impetus to finally get this one done. I love the colour scheme, out load and pilot figure. Very, very well done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony in NZ Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I echo what everyone else has said, that is a stunning Scooter model! Love the finish, loadout and details you have added, just perfect. Great inspiration for me working on my 32nd one over on LSP, thank you. Right, now off to read your WIP Cheers Anthony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) What a beauty Rich,.......I love this scheme on the Skyhawk and you have well and truly smashed it,.......the pilot is a great finishing touch too! Cheers Tony Edit,......you really must repair it,.........such a shame to leave it in bits. Edited January 4, 2017 by tonyot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squibby Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Wow, love the paint weathering, subtle and expertly executed I also love the pilots pose! It's a shame we don't have these birds anymore, the Skyhawks had really lovely lines. Also what an absolute shame that it's all in pieces. You've got to repair it up, that paintwork and finishing deserves to be displayed properly. Hopefully the damage wasn't too great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakakoz Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) What I like most about this model is the paint job. The shading, the dark wash - they are noticeable, but not exaggerated. I'm not sure what sort of camera set up you have, but the camouflage colours look great in your photos. Well done.

Rich F Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Thanks everyone, glad you liked it Forgot to say a special thankyou to Richard (Gekko) without his decals it wouldn't have been possible, they went on beautifully As too repairing it, I'll probably give it go as i go along with my new project. Hopefully starting soon. Cheers again 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4u Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Superb work on your Skyhawk , love the scheme and lovely weathering makes for a realistic look, great looking pilot figure to. I do hope you repair it as it deserves it. Guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Paw Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 That is an excellent build and finish and I am sorry to hear about the breakage. I have done it my self (fully rigged 1/72 scale Albatros sea plane) and I did try to repair it but my heart was not in it. It does need to be repaired it is a great model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyingdutchman Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I like the scooter a lot. Saw one myself in a museum when I was in New-Zealand. The pilot is really cool addition to the plane. Cheers Evert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
