Cheers, I like adding little touches that make models stand out a bit and the variety of colour schemes used by the RNZAF A-4's at this time make them a very interesting subject. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios16v Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I'd say that turned out pretty alright. I'll be more than happy if I can get similar results w/ my RAN G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that you will do better with yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 she does look rather nice Craig, well done! So your Gekko decals are still ok? Mine caused me so much pain I'm almost afraid to use them again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Yes Craig. There is a really nice green one in the local Aircraft museum. I was surprised how big it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Craig - really nice - job well done No RNZAF Skyhawk collection would be complete without this one below NZ6256 in RNZAF 50th Anniversary Scheme (RNZAF Official - RNZAF Museum - Used with Permissions) I would so like to have done one for this GB, but finding a TA 4 model is like finding hens teeth or so expensive, you need to take out a mortgage to buy it - One day though Thanks for sharing your build with us Regards Alan 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks John, really appreciated mate. 5 hours ago, LDSModeller said: really nice - job well done Thanks Alan I appreciate that, especially given your knowledge on the RNZAF. I didn't realise that there was a matching car to go with the gold Skyhawk! That would make for an eye catching diorama. Its a pity that the TA-4 and other versions of the Skyhawk aren't more readily available from Hasegawa, they seem to have a strange idea on what to release from their back catalogue at times.

That would be an interesting add on build. Maybe in 1/24 1/32 as I don't think there are any in 1/72 or 1/48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 @Andwil I stand corrected, I just assumed as it has similar lines to a mid 80’s Merc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
