Airfix 1/72 A-4 Skyhawk
This is the Airfix 1/72 Skyhawk. The only change is the addition of a Pavla seat... not really necessary the kit one is good, and aftermarket decals. Painted with Acrylics thinned with windex and Future Took me about 3 weeks to finish.
13 additional images. Click to enlarge.

Looks great Chris. I have this one in the stash. If I ever get to it I hope my results will look half as good as yours.

Nice build Chris.
Did you have any problem with the wing fuselage joint at the front?
Well done for posting sir.

Beautiful A-4C. Airfix is surely a big rival to Hasegawa and Tamiya with their red box kits. Nice photos, great build. Well done!!!

Nice crisp little model, Chris!
I really like how you did the decals. They are a bit bleached. Were they printed like that, or did you tone them down yourself. If so, how did you do it?

I think that was just the way they look under the dull coat…I used vallejo acrylic matte coat which was dead flat…. Thanks for your very kind comment, Ulf. I admire your work a great deal.
