1/48 Hasegawa A-4E Skyhawk


Recommended Posts

I just couldn't justify building aggressors/adversaries without a scooter being among one of it.

Here's my planned 3rd contribution, I think I should be able to make it before the dateline closes. :D

Kit from hasegawa A-4E/F Skyhawk standard kit with decals from Two Bobs 48-018 Top Gun Tinker Toys.

I was planning to build it in the green/brown 'Jester' jet but with Hasegawa's recent offering of the 'Top Gun' kit which arrived couple of weeks ago,

I decided to build something 'attractive'. So it's gonna be the VF-45 Blackbirds Blue/Grey camo.

Started about couple of days back, here's some shots.

Decals should be coming in next after a coat of future and plan for an oil wash something I have not done for quite a while.

Thanks for looking. :thumbsup:/>
