You do know that once you make a gap in your stash then instinctively you will feel the urge to fill it with something else. 😁 Or worse still, reorganise a large part of it, like a huge 3-D puzzle. I may be extracting an A-4 or two next weekend from the "remote stash", along with some other kits to be built over the next 9 months or so. Factor in some other kits to be disposed of second-hand, one to be given to a friend, some to be transferred "in" from my home stash, a purchase or two, and it will be major effort to not have everything fall down on top of me while I reorganise the edifice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fujimi A-4 in Aggressor scheme 👍 Cheers, Dermot Glad to have you on board Dermot and with an excellent choice of both kit and subject, I think that US Navy, Marines and RAN aggressors are going to be popular subjects in this GB, there are certainly lots of colour schemes for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resin cockpit looks very nice, lots of details in there that one of your excellent paint jobs will show up a treat. Any idea of what colour scheme you will go with? Some of these were later used at Top Gun and carried very nice adversary schemes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafalbert Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Well, I was trying to ignore this one to allow me some chance of actually finishing some models in time but I am weak. Count me in with a Matchbox A-4M which will be built OOB. Dave 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Welcome to the land of the weak willed Dave, you're among good company here. 😁 I built a few Matchbox A-4M's , if I remember right they come with Bullpup missiles. You're are added to the list. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Can anyone recommend a source of decals for an Aggressor Skyhawk in 72nd scale? My search skills are sadly lacking in any results, other than the Italeri and Airfix kits, and there's a couple of kits in the stash I'd like to decorate in a 'Top Gun' NFWS style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 I found out today that we recently lost one of our members, @Silver Fox (Andy Scott). Whilst I didn't know him personally I have chatted with him on this forum and he was always helpful with advice and willing to share his knowledge, Andy's avatar was an RNZAF Skyhawk so lets see how many RNZAF birds we can build in honour of him shall we. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Seems we need to go on a decal hunt for @Col. and Dennis, so if anyone can point them in the direction of either RNZAF or Adversary A-4's that would be great. Dennis are you after decals in 1/72 scale or 1/48. @Col. I believe there were some molder Microscale decals the covered adversary's from Top Gun and I have seen them on Ebay before now. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/microscale-72-544-top-gun-aggressors--1147749 Edited December 4, 2020 by modelling minion 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as I don't even have a kit yet any scale ? Id even be surprised/happy if they were in 1/144 to fit the little eduard kits in that scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Gekko Graphics was my go to for Kiwi Scooters after chatting w/ Rich. I believe he offers 2 sets in both 1/72 & 1/48. Not sure on other scales. Be aware though that post took 4-6 weeks at the time due to Covid restrictions...so they may be a little slow traveling overseas. Not a big deal, but something to keep in mind to allow for transit time if they are needed for a build. https://studiogekko.blogspot.com/p/gekko-graphics-decals.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dennis, Just catching up n some of these chats If you want to do a Kiwi A4, then Old Model Decals may be of help, they do 1/32 - 1/144 see link below. Also if you click on RNZAF 85- Not current, (within the link) it will give you later schemes Old Model RNZAF A4 Decals Regards Alan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
