And you say I don't hang about Ian Not so sure about the 'F-4E' designation on the box, but you sure have good taste. The A-4 is one of my favourite aeroplanes.

Made a start on this [ATTACH]59431.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]59432.vB[/ATTACH] With not much detail inside the cockpit decided to have the pilot in, but seeing the poor state of the pilot [ATTACH]59433.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]59434.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]59435.vB[/ATTACH] got this instead [ATTACH]59436.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]59437.vB[/ATTACH]

Excellent! I remember you getting this at newark ian. It still looks a nice kit (obviously apart from the poor pilot!! he looks like hes had his brains sucked out!!!) The resin replacement looks nice , looking forward to the next instalment, cheers tony

I don't want to hear another word about Airfixes terrible pilots. That one is THE winner!!!

I hope that you can get the new one in the seat.

I tried a similar thing once, with an after market pilot. Ended up in an AM bang seat, which in turn ended up in an AM cock pit!!! LOL

The actual aircraft parts look pretty good.

Got the pilot painted [ATTACH]59571.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]59572.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]59573.vB[/ATTACH] and i think with more look than judgement he fits ok [ATTACH]59574.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]59575.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]59576.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]59577.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]59578.vB[/ATTACH]

Nice job on that pilot Ian. He looked as thought he were out of a Hobbit film but your paint work has brought him to life. I hope he gets a control stick, or that pose is somewhat unfortunate. Look forward to more progress shots soon.

Got the cockpit in [ATTACH]59627.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]59628.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]59629.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]59630.vB[/ATTACH] The intakes fitted but one fits snug the other needs plenty of work [ATTACH]59631.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]59632.vB[/ATTACH]

It's taking shape nicely Ian.That intakes not a brilliant fit.Makes it all the more satisfying when you have to fill,sand and make things fit I find.

[flyjoe180]

Coming along nicely Ian. I'm watching this build, I love the A-4.

[Guest]

Nice move on the pilot Ian, that first one reminded me of something out of Terminator 2 lol. The new one definatly looks the business mate.
