A-4B Skyhawk (Airfix 1/72)
Easy OOB build of a relatively new Airfix kit. I’ve only added Eduard PE parts for interior. There was some problem with air intakes, but not critical. Painted with Gunze acrylics.
Thank you for watching!

I’ve seen 48th scale examples not finished as well (mine leaps to mind) – well done, sir.

What a good looking plane the Skyhawk is, and, for some reason, it seems to be particularly suited to 1/72 scale. Yours is especially nicely finished, Dmitry, a pleasure to view.

Question, if I may, about the side airbrakes.
Conventional wisdom says that the rear face of the airbrakes themselves are painted red.
What about the well? I’ve seen red, white, and the color of the aircraft.
Same question: A-1, (E)A-6, A3.
I’m guessing there is no hard and fast answer, but I’m curious as to what the brotherhood thinks.
Thanks, all answers gratefully accepted.

I’ve followed instruction, so I have nothing to say about this.

Dmitry, that helps. Personally, I favor the well being red, provided the airbrakes are deployed. Looks flashy!
Yours turned out so well, I’m thinking I need one in the runaway stash, that is eating my personal space.
