Sturmovik Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) Hello everyone, After some time off the bench, I come back with a new model. Well, two, but I'll be making a separate thread for the second one. It's a new 3d printed model from Kosmosur 3d, the A-4P Skyhawk in 1:48. Markings will come from the Aerocalcas decal sheet 48011, which comes with options for A-4P C-214 and 236. I'l be building 214 in Malvinas/Falklands markings, with yellow bands. Here you can see both airframes assembled. Edited April 18, 2023 by Sturmovik 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 I spent my free time yesterday to paint some parts and pieces of the Skyhawk. I painted the yellow bands on the fuselage, the gear in light blue, and fuel tanks with the first upper camouflage colour. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serkan Sen Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Very interesting project and good progress so far. I always apply first microfiller primer and lightly sand the 3d printed parts before applying the main colors which eliminates the visible print layers.

I also don't have much time to fill the entire model due to lack of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturmovik Posted May 8, 2023 Author Share Posted May 8, 2023 Bombs and landing gear glued. The kit didn't come with main gear rear doors, so I flattened four spare sprues I had lying around to make them. Eduardo (owner of Kosmosur) told me he'll include them in his future A-4C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 After not visiting the site for a month, I decided to upload the finished photos of the Skyhawk. I was too lazy to open Imgur and upload the pics to the RFI section 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
