rafalbert Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Ok, finally done. Another "not my best effort" I'm afraid with mistakes all over the place (the worst being some leaked paint on the canopy 🤦🏼♂️). Bullpup missiles duly attached with a centreline fuel tank stolen from the Airfix A-4B kit. I have no idea if it is accurate for an A-4M (I think the Bullpups may be suspect too) but it gives it a more "tooled up" look. What was supposed to be a quick build took a lot longer than planned due to life getting in the way again but it was good fun nontheless. Another one for the shelf! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 An excellent result on your old Matchbox A-4 Dave. A very nice and colourful set of markings and those Bullpups add the finishing touch. Well done and thanks for taking part in the GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Hi there, a Matchbox kit is always a joy to behold, especially when it has received a goodly amount of TLC. You've done a great job on this A-4. Congrats!!! I have never paid any attention to the way Bullpup missiles are attached to their support. Are they really connected that far back? Impressive whatever. Cheers JR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
