planecrazee Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hey MM, Can you count me in for this GB please. I also have the airfix kit in the stash which I'd like to liberate from the cupboard and get it built so this GB provides the perfect excuse Thanks Kris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argentine A-4 Q Very nice choice, the A-4Q's look great in either their original US Navy scheme or later paint jobs, especially with the quite colourful Argentine markings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 A week away? I’m falling behind already. Lets see I have a Bedford MK and a Jag GR1 to finish in the Gulf war GB, a Vampire to start in the Mates and Bros GB, something for the Africa GB and now this. Anybody would think I was in lockdown with time on my hands!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nose is much shorter than on the E, not sire if you will be able to re-profile the kits nose into shape. The kit you have is actually an old ESCI one re-boxed and is a pretty good kit if you just wanted to build it as an E/F. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
