Your making a really good job of this Ian.Pity the wing decals have to go over those vortex generators.No doubt you will touch them in with black paint.

You are giving me enthusiasm to do more on my Phantom with this Ian, your A-4 looks great in those Navy colours. A touch up on those decals over the vortex generators will finish them nicely. Nearly there, watching all the way.

Thanks Dave and Joe Yes they will get a touch up been waiting for micro-sol to dry they just would not conform over the vortex generaters

Looking nice Ian, the AM pilot looks good and a nice save on the weight problem.

looking forward to seeing more.

I've known people (though not me) to cut the vortex generators off, and re-attach later if they are in the way - which they often seem to be !

[flyjoe180]

Personally if I were faced with /172 scale vortex gens, I would not be cutting them off for reattachment later.

Far easier to do it the way Ian has.

Your A4 is looking the part now Ian. They carry an impressive load for such a small machine.

This looks the business Ian! Its a fantastic looking build , and to think we didnt even know who the manufacturer was when you picked it up at Newark! (we still dont know!!) It really means business with that stores load out! , were they all in the kit? looking forward to seeing the finished pics , cheers tony
