Tato Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hi everyone! Hope you all are doing well and safe! This past weekend I discovered some photos in an old hard drive of some model kits I build like 10 or more years ago. They are not up to my today standards, but I still have them in my display gabinet, and some of them are still my favorites. This is the case with this Hobbycraft A-4C. If I remember right, this was build out of the box, including decals. I just added a True Details ejection seat, a Squadron vacuform canopy and windscreen to replace the horrible kit one and I scratchbuild FOD and engine covers to hide the non existent detail inside the fuselage. I like so much that I'm seriously considering doing another one with a Hasegawa kit. Hope you like it! PD. I have just notice that after all this years I've still not added the windshield wiper!

In my most humble opinion, there's no reason to redo another one, as this to my eyes looks perfect! Cheers Hans J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fubar57 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Looks great.

Tons and tons of putty on this one. Nothing fits, but it looks like a Skyhawk in the end! Thank you for commenting! 13 hours ago, klubman01 said: Nicely done. Great Skyhawk. Trevor Thank you Trevor.
