PhantomBigStu Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Having received an Airfix Skyhawk as thank you from @stevej60, seemed a shame that it wouldn’t be high on my build list but sure painting it in fleet air arm colours with some spare Harrier decals will change that Edited November 9, 2019 by PhantomBigStu 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Nice choice should be an interesting and good looking aircraft. Looking forward to seeing how this goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Thinking of going with the EDSG over white scheme with markings from the SHAR2, though I have to use xtradecals to get black serials, rather not paint the white but I think it likely had the RN got skyhawks they would have updated to the longer nosed marks by the time the white was deleted 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 For low level strike work I'd say you're on safe ground going with overall EDSG Stu Various grey schemes were applied long before the F/A.2 arrived into squadron service. Plus, remember, it's M.B.M so do what makes you happy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 Made a start last night, should have done some sanding on my intruder, but after a long day and bit of moral sapping on another build I needed something light to do 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 All together, simple kit, decided against the white underside, should be a quick job to sand and paint 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 Almost decal ready, will be ready first thing, also painted the bombs up, in this case 4 of the large centre line ones the kit comes with as this happened to be the fourth Airfix Skyhawk I’ve built. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
