    1/32 Trumpeter A4 skyhawk

    1/32 Trumpeter A4 skyhawk

    this is the 1/32 Trumpeter A-4 skyhawk its not a bad kit, but you do need some patients wit it, some of the instructions are a bit head scratching, and a slurp of coffee, before releasing what the y mean.

    any way I used AK air as the main pint on this build, and Cam decals

    enjoy

    Mike

      Absolutely wonderful, Mike.
      Does the kit come OOB so well detailed (air brakes, weapons, cockpit...) or did you use aftermarket sets?

          Hi Andrea I used just a bit of PE on the inside of the air breaks thats all, just to get that raised rivet detail
          thanks for the comments

                    Mike , That is a great result! In the first shot of the nose W/W I thought I was looking at a real bird. I was deployed with a detachment of these (VA-45) aboard the U.S.S. Intrepid back in '72. You should be very pleased with the outcome......you have done an excellent job on this. Almost fooled an "Expert"! Rick H.
