Janremco Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 After the F-16D, I did a few models, but hadn't the energy to take some pictures and post them. This is the second model I completed in 2017, also started in 2017. The main colors are from Hataka, for me they worked better than Vallejo in the airbrush. It seemed it didn't dry out that fast as Vallejo, even dilluted. I used HTK-A048 – Light Gull Grey (ANA 620) and HTK-A049 – Insignia White (ANA 511). Other colors came from Vallejo and AMMO of Mig. After completing ths bird I managed to knock of the inflight refueling probe twice, that's why it is pointing down a bit. Next time I would paint the red on the intakes, these were the only decals I had a struggle with. The weapons come form Eduard, panels lines were done with oil paint. When the weather improves I'll update this post whit some outdoor photos. Thanks for looking. Jan Remco 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Israeli A4 is a cool looking one. I do like the sand cammouflage. Looking forward to your A4. Jan Remco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Happy Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Janremco, Nice job on the Skyhawk 👍 How well did the Eduard ejection seat fit? I am currently working on the Hasegawa A-4E myself. It looks like those Hataka paints worked out very well📸👀😎 Cheers, (Great Job) Mr. Happy (In name only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As written I had better painted the intakes red instead of using the decals. I liked working with the Hataka paints, this my second model one with these paints the ther one is an F4 in SEA colors. I will put up the photos nextcweekend. Thanks for your nice comment. Jan Rdmco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Goeden avond Jan Remco, superb A-4, and the paint job is top notch! Congrats! I am nonetheless surprised that a kit jazzed up by Eduard would still give you problems with the fit of the cockpit transparencies. But the overall effect of your build is beautiful JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the overall effect of your build is beautiful JR Hi JR, The cockpit transparencies will be probably my fault. May be some paint or the fact that I did the front one first. The overal fit was good as we may expect from Hssegawa. Thanks for your comment. Jan Remco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdonnell Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hello,Jan - My full compliments to you,my friend,on this fine looking build of your 'Skyhawk'. I love the glorious 'hi-viz' schemes which adorned so many great types.The 'Skyhawk' is no exception and your beautifully built and finished example,displaying restrained and realistic weathering and colourful markings,is a resplendent tribute to this charismatic aircraft.Great work! 😉👍All the very best,Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
