Han Solo Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Hello everybody, now i will show you my sixth A-4 Skyhawk and my second A-4F. It's also from Fujimi. The Decals wasn't good (too much orange), so i bought me some from camdecals.com. also i used a Nozzle and Wheels from Aires. 65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Your model does justice to the real thing. First time I saw a Blue Angels Skyhawk formation I was kind of put off. Didn't look good to me. But the Blue Angels colors on the Skyhawk grew on my and now it's perhaps my favorite of all the Blue Angels demonstration airplanes. The Grumman Tiger runs a very close second.

112 Squadron Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Nice to see such an outstanding Skyhawk. Using a different set of decals was indeed the right choice since those that are in the box are really disappointing.

klubman01 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Very nicely finished. Not seen one in Blue Angels colours for a very long time. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Look's superb you've captured the clean polished finish of the real aircraft without making it look toy like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han Solo Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 Thanks all 😊 @stevej60 I think there is also a scale effect with the degree of gloss. That's why I painted my model with semi gloss clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Beautiful finish! The first time I saw the Blue Angels, they were flying these... so it brings back memories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I'm not normally a fan of display aircraft models as they tend to look toy like but this is excellent, the sheen and finish looks spot on, one of the best finishes of this kit I've seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertone139 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Very nicely done. Also good catch on the closed slats, the Blue Angels A-4s did have that mod done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark4700 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I like it. Lovely finish, just the right amount of shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeline Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Nice finish! any special technique to achieve it? I always got it either too gloss (toy like) or too matte.. :-/ What paint did you use for the blue? Errm.... Anyone has the Van Hallen's "Dream" playing in his ears now, or is it just me? Cheers, Mario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
