A-4F 'Super Fox' BuNo 155000 #50 Fightertown Decals, Xtracolor and Revell paints Jens

It apppears there is an image limit... :( Anyway, onto the next: TA-4F BuNo 153491 #16 Afterburner Decals, Xtracolor paints Jens

I have been in love with adversary Skyhawks for quite some time but now the plain USN/USMC Scooters are starting to grow on me too. Anyway, here is what I have beenup to lately (Skyhawk-wise that is): TA-4F BuNo 154334 #15 Fightertown Decals, Xtracolor paints TA-4J BuNo 154657 #13 Classic Airframes decals, Xtracolor paints Jens

For anyone interested in the Lynx these pictures might be useful: Lynx galleries Jens

The Monogram fairing actually looks a bit too small to me, so I think the truth is inbetween. At least it is easier to remove plastic than to add it. :) Jens

The aft part should not be perpendicular to the wing surfaces, that's what's wrong. Jens

Why not use a photocopy of the decals as a guide for a set of homemade masks? Jens

This is great info! Thanks a lot! Why would anyone want to build the Monogram/Revell kit when AFV Club has issued a much better kit (in terms of details, fit and surface details)?! Jens

FWIW the missing wing fence mistake from the EA-6B has been corrected in the A-6E kit. :) Jens

Here is a comparison photo showing the Revell/Monogram and Kinetic kits: From top to bottom: - Kinetic EA-6B - Kinetic A-6E - Revell/Monogram A-6E - Revell/Monogram A-6E on top of the Kinetic A-6E Jens

Go for anything else than CAM decals. They are the most faulty decals I have seen to date (even including Model Alliance)! :( Jens

I just compared the fuselage of the Kinetic A-6E with that of the Monogram/Revell kit, and they are similar in length and frontal view. The Kinetic fuselage appears to be a fraction deeper, especially in the nose area. Kinetic has used a couple of sprues from the Prowler kit which makes sense. The wings appear to be the same though, which means either the Prowler or the Intruder wings are not completely correct. Not wure which ones though. Overall it looks like a very nice kit. Some details could have been better, e.g. the rudder line, but that's nothing a modeller can't fix. At least it ha

The Danish F-104s also used the MB seat with the flat-sided headrest. ;) Jens

I love it! Well done! Jens

Do you mean F-101A/C or F-104A/C? The F-104A/Cs had grey lower wing surfaces too. Jens

The SM is more like an enhanced MF than it is an SMT, right? And the MT is identical to the SMT, right? These MiG-21 versions are a bit confusing. :blink: Jens

For those who have bought the Weekend edition kit, knowing it doesn't contain all the parts the ProfiPack edition does, and who cannot overcome adding a small piece of plastic card themselves I suggest they find something else to build. There is more bitchin' about this kit than there are WIPs! The term 'spoiled kids' comes to mind! *sigh* Jens

Thanks. I used one of the TwoBobs Gomer sheets. Jens

Thanks. At least the doors are open while the pilot is in the aircraft. ;) Thanks Mark, I am. :) These lovely kits are begging to be built! Go get it! Thanks Jim! :) Jens

Shouldn't this thread be in Photos and Critiques? Jens

Ah, thanks. I admit to not having read all the posts. ;) Jens

Any news on the release date for this sheet? Jens

Mikkel, it looks as if there used to be a national marking on the tail fin. It appears to be either painted over or removed from the picture. Jens

I have had similar issues on a Hasegawa 1/48 A-4 Skyhawk. I don't know whether it had anything to do with the cement, but both the fuselage and wings parts developed cracks. Jens

Judging from pictures it seems that the landing/taxi lights are out only (mostly) when taxiing or landing. Jens
