zebra Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 Got the ordnance done. Nearly launched the whole thing out of the window in the process though - the fuel tank and the Mavericks just didn't want to go on and stay on! The tank in particular was a pain in the unmentionables. Before this I found the decals that came with the Mavericks were laser printed so only really good for a light grey or white missile - not the green one I wanted to use. So no decals on the missiles. Between these irritations and the disappointing decals this build has got to a point where I just want it done and off the bench ASAP and with minimum effort. Grrrrr.... 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Sorry to hear of all the trouble Julian, she does look good and I don't think anyone will notice the lack of missile data stencils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Mate, you should be really happy with that! We can be our own worst critic, but it looks pretty awesome from where I am sitting with a big screen. Love the loadout too. Nice to see something other than 300gal tanks under the wings, Gets my vote! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 This happens to the best, and you seem one of them! Looks great to me! A little final push (not out if the window ) and you are good to go in new directions 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Well done Julian, Something Id like to add to my collection now that Ive done the earlier version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 You should be really proud of that one Julian, I know that I would be. Decal and ordnance issues aside you have got one very fine looking model of a Kahu there mate. Very well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Good to see the green beasty. We have one in the local museum. When you are right up to it, it's a big beast. I think the green camo makes it look even bigger than the grey. Excellent job you have done on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great finish and a model I would be proud to have on my shelf. Well done mate and good on you for making the HUD bits, very clever indeed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Lovely work Julian. I built a pre-upgrade A-4K from the Hasegawa kit around 20 years ago too. Are your 3D printed instrument panel and other post-Kahu bits available for purchase? I have a hankering to build another Kiwi Skyhawk! Thanks and bye for now, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
