Joel_W Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) I just finished my build of the Eduard/Hasegawa limited edition 1/48 scale A4F Skyhawk for my 1st ARC GB. The GB was a lot of fun with great interaction with the other members, so I'll be joining in more GBs down the road. I thought that I would share with you my pictures of my finished Scooter. Joel End of Part one. Edited August 27, 2015 by Joel_W Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Top notch job, only suggestion would be to paint the inside of the canopy a dark grey or black. But overall that is a beauty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom, Thanks so much for those most kind words. As for the inside of the canopy, I've been thinking about trying to mask it, and then paint it. For me that's easier said then done. But I only used Aleene's tacky craft glue, so the canopy can be popped right off. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Generally, I do like some kind of load. But those drop tanks are so large and bulky looking, and the Scooter is so small and agile looking, they just don't look right together, so for a change of pace I went this route.
