Dansk Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Thanks from me too Craig. A cracking theme you came up with and your good spirits, advice, dedication and support is warmly welcomed. So when are we doing ‘Scooters Two’ ters ? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Paul, that really is very much appreciated. I think that we have to wait for two years before we can have around 2 of an A-4 GB, should we all build 2 seaters for that one? 😁 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Okay everybody the poll is now open in the gallery and will close at 23.59 on the 3rd July. Please vote for your favourite 3 builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Voted, but man...I easily could've done a blind pick from at least a dozen builds and been happy with my votes. Cracking builds fellas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 Well with the voting over (thanks to those of you that cast your votes) we have a winner and that is Julian's ( @zebra) excellent two tone A-4M from the NATC, second came Rich's ( @trickyrich) really nice IDF/AF A-4N and third came some dodgy Kuwaiti A-4KU. A big thank you again to all who took part and looked in on peoples builds along the way, you guys made hosting this GB a lot of fun and virtually effortless. Craig. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that was most unexpected, not least because it had escaped my attention that a poll was happening, and I think there were plenty of models better than mine in the GB (Trickyrich, Fabrice Simon, Dansk and whoever made that dodgy Kuwaiti A-4KU, your models were superb), I think the attention-grabbing colour scheme might have distracted a few people from the model's flaws! Thanks everyone! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 .... did someone mention my name???? ..... and was there a poll? .....and I know now because I went looking...... pools of late have been a bit few and far between...anyway. Thanks, there were some really lovely builds in the gallery, many of which I'd be very proud to have on my shelf.... even that "dodgy Kuwaiti" one! Though for me Paul's( @Dansk) A-4M is my fav. Thanks for putting on a great show Craig, was lots of fun..... now if I could just afford/find a Hasegawa A-4H!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that you enjoyed the GB Rich, I know what you mean about the Hasegawa A-4H (and others) about time that they were re-released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours is a great model Julian and a deserving winner and to have achieved the perfect alignment of the colours is no mean feat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric Indigo Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Just a heads-up for anybody who feels inspired by the GB to get his hands on a Skyhawk: The Hasegawa 1:48 A-4M is back in stores currently! http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/pt33/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always good to be able to add more Skyhawks to the stash, just wish they would release the earlier versions for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I wonder if I could use an M as a basis for an IAF N? Research time! Edit: Yep, Armycast makes a N conversion for M base kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that you can Chris, you will need the extended jet pipe and 30mm cannon but you can get aftermarket ones. The nose panels are different but that's an easy fix, I think the nose shape is the same or as near as damn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I'm going to refrain for now.....I still have 4 A-4s in the closet waiting to be built in various guises. But I'll probably keep my eyes open for a deal on one though (along w/ suitable decals). Because who doesn't like a sale? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob S Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Would anyone know where I could get or make up decals for this A4B : that was the first Skyhawk of any kind to land on HMAS Melbourne?

There is a Superscale set for an A-4C from VA-113 if that would make a start, 48-735. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
