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. I don't have that sheet Remy but do have other aggressor options on some other sheets, which version of Skyhawk are you looking for markings for?

Hi Craig , in fact it can be a Mike ( to go with the re-issueing scheduled for next july ) , but a F is also among my targets , depending on the scheme itself . Not to mention a K early in SEA camo . Maybe we can switch to PM mode ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkThorn242 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Oh crap I'd completely forgotten about this GB. Kind of had a motivation breakdown during the Gulf War GB when my airbrush packed up. >< 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have all been through the lack of motivation, especially when our equipment lets us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it's one of the ones based at Wittmund. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 My mate just sent a video of it landing, lovely 2 tone grey camouflage scheme and really good noise. I’m definitely going to see it and SWMBO is coming with me lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner of my local hobby shop sometimes jokingly addresses me as "young fella", even though I have several years on him. I do look young though, no denying that. Anyway, I wasn't completely idle on the modelling front over the past few weeks, but it has been difficult to get any real traction. Just need to psyche myself up ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hercs were fabulous, showing their age, never seen a green one before, in and out good show. A-4 is staying over after all that...some technical issue.

Valkyrie Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Well after 3 days of no Skyhawk take off she finally went this morning, and I missed it. My pal sent me his pics and to add insult to injury says they put on a wee engine test right next to the gathered group huddled against the snow wind 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 That looks good in that scheme, not up to the Draken ones in the ex Kiwi scheme of course but good all the same. Whose were these before they went civvy, does anyone know? Thanks for sharing that photo. Steve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Craig, the lack of long tail pipe threw me off it being IDF but I guess if they can put them on, they can also remove them. It looks a helluva lot better without it.

modelling minion Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 just a quick reminder to all the members of Team Skyhawk who haven't got their builds across the line yet that there are now only 3 weeks to go until the end of the GB so if you plan on getting them done it is time to pull your fingers out.

Seriously, I have got an Airfix starter set out if stock & applied some paint to the cockpit. Photos & a thread should appear by the end of the week, maybe.
