Cheers Allan Glad to have you aboard Allan. I think there may well be a few Fujimi A-4's in the GB which is no bad thing as they are really nice kits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 at the moment I soooo want this one to get up but on the other hand I'm hoping not sort of??? My build schedule for next year is looking frighteningly busy! With a possible 8 or 9 GB's plus the possibility of Hosting 3 of them....have conveniently forgotten about one's I'm Co-Hosting! One of these day's I'll learn to say no....and i keep saying that too. But all said and done a IDF A-4N would really fit the build....guess next year I'll be chained to the work bench again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boman Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Think I'll chime in too as I have a couple of Hasegawa A-4E/F's and a TA-4J "in stock" When is the planned group build date? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right the A-4 in the Italeri "Top Gun" boxing is the old ESCI molding which is quite a good kit, will you be building it in Top Gun markings? 2 hours ago, Boman said: Think I'll chime in too as I have a couple of Hasegawa A-4E/F's and a TA-4J "in stock" When is the planned group build date? Great to have you join up too Boman, I think Hasegawa's A-4's will be very popular in 1/48. I don't know yet when the build date will be, it depends on when we get the numbers (hopefully not long now) and our GB master @Enzo Matrix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 The earliest available STGB slot starts on 6 March 2021. In the interests of full disclosure, I'm currently building an Airfix A-4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the warm welcome The master-plan is indeed to do it as 'Viper's' bird from Top Gun although I've since read the decals could be more accurate They are, however, the only option I know of for this machine so will just have to make the best of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are most welcome Col. I'm not sure if there are any aftermarket decals for Jester's jet in 1/72, I know that there are some in 1/48 including an old set by microscale and they usually had the same available in 1/72. I assume from your location that you are not going to the UK Nationals this weekend, there is a second hand decal trader who seems to know every set ever made by heart and I will ask him if he has any for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 according to Enzo/Ernie the earliest time will be March 2021..... that's like I'm bound to have forgotten about this time away!

The Eduard boxing was nice and had some nice extras but I'm sure we can scrounge up some US Navy markings for you between us for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
