So I' m working on all four of my Skyhawks at once. The contrast between the various cockpits is marked. Even the two Italeri kits (A-4M and OA-4M) are quite different. That is the interesting thing about building different kits of the same aircraft type, it shows up how the different manufacturers tackle the same things.

stevej60 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I've actually set foot in my LMS for the first time in nearly a year! I now have white paint and can get spraying on my A4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I went and pawed through my TA-4J Aggressor boxing yesterday morning after work. Tempting. I need to get out of this work schedule and see how I'm looking for time so I can decide between this or a Libyan MiG-21 for Africa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Did a little mock up tonight to get a feel for how things are going to fit up. The Hase E definitely fits better. The Classic Airframes TA is going to take a fair bit of patience, clean up and fitting as it builds up. Now to think about what I want to do... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Revell and the Italeri kit are virtually identical, as far as the sprues are concerned. (I can speak with some authority having build both). The decals are more detailed in the Revell kit. I recommend it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 These are new decal sheets by a company Im not familiar with. They're for the A-4C, could they know something ? Would Hasegawa be re-releasing the early models ? https://spruebrothers.com/bma48016-1-48-bullseye-model-aviation-decals-a-4c-skyhawk-fleet-hot-rods-ii/ https://spruebrothers.com/bma48015-1-48-bullseye-model-aviation-decals-a-4c-skyhawk-fleet-hot-rods/ Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope that Hasegawa release the C again as the only one that has been available for a while is the M, and they're not that easy to get hold of either. 7 hours ago, LorenSharp said: I have more decal sets for the A-4 than I have kits Same here, far more decals than I have kits or even than there are available kits! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basket Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Hi all ! A juste read some of you happen to have more decal sheets than kits. Maybe , some guys would like to get rid of this one : Twobobs ref 48-132 , or maybe another aggressor sheet for scooters. Thanks in advance and best regards to you all.
