Redboost Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Hi fellow britmodellers, this is the reboxing of the Fujimi kit that recently appeared under the Hobby2000 label. The kit was enhanced a bit with modified or scratchbuilt items as landing gear legs, airframe antennas, racks etc. as well as with Quickboost or Aires resin aftermarkets as refueling probe, wheels and cannon barels. Since I was not fully satisfied with the kit's decals I went for Armycast replacement. The kit depicts one of the "The Flying Tigers" machine as flown by IAF Flying School at Hatzerim AB at her final appoitment. Cheers, Libor 65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpoud117 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Outstanding work! I'm currently on a Fujimi A-4B and I'd love for mine to turn half as good as yours! How did you handle the cockpit to fuselage/wing root joint? I find it a bit tricky on my end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackman Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I really like the subtle rivet lines that you added to the Fujimi kit. It really enhances the look of the kit. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Nice, I really like the Israeli schemes on the Skyhawk. It's very pleasing work Libor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanond Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Fantastic finish! I have one of the Fujimi versions I finished a few years ago. I was thinking of getting another one when I saw Hobby2000 release. Seeing your great piece, I think I should really get it. Nanond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 That really is excellent work! The iAF camo scheme is beautifully executed and you've added lots of really nice details that take your model to the next level - well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was a bit tricky at my end too. The key point was a flat on inside of the wing centre part which set up the height of the cockpit section with the fuselage. Adjusting the height of this flat I was able to match both sections pretty much OK. Good luck with your A-4B! 14 hours ago, Jackman said: I really like the subtle rivet lines that you added to the Fujimi kit.

Thanks everyone for nice comments! Cheers Libor 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VG 33 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Hi Libor This is very nice. I missed this box but I got an old Fujimi one. The trouble is that inside there is no exhaust extension. Patrick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 Thanks Patrick! Then you need to go for the Quickboost replacement - btw it is included in the Hobby2000 kit. Cheers Libor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
