marvin20 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Here's my entry for the Skyhawk Group Build. The 1/48 Hasegawa A-4E/F kit, with a True Details resin seat, and maybe the Eduard's photo-etch set for the interior. Thought about using the Eduard photetch set, but the cockpit has raised details, which can be painted and drybrushed to get a good representation of the cockpit. Here's the ejection seat painted and weathered. Also have the interior painted and weathered, plus nose weight added to keep it sitting on its gear when completed. Here's the cockpit tub painted and drybrushed. The seat is being dry fitted before gluing it in place. The intake has been painted as well. Ready for installation.

marvin20 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 I know the group build has ended, I've gotten pretty far along in the build, but didn't get it done by the completion date. Will continue to post pictures of the build here until it is finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
