1/48 Hasegawa A-4PTM  M32-17 No. 6 Sqn  

 

This model is my Hasegawa 1/48 A-4C, with VFA decals for No. 6 skn. aircraft. The Hasegawa A-4 is a very nice kit to build, so nice that I've built another and have plans for at least three more.

 

The cockpit was fit with eduard photoetch for the a-4e/f, though it was quite a waste since not much can be seen once the canopy is closed.

 

Paints used were gunze 303 (FS34102), gunze 309   (FS34079) and of course, gunze flat black for the anti-glare area.

Another A-4PTM!   This model is the Hasegawa 1/48 A-4C I built for a friend of mine. Again, I didn't weather or wash the model as that's what the guy wanted. He also wanted his name on it, which you see as Major Faizal below the canopy. He's not in the air force, and never flew the Skyhawk by the way.

 

I used my usual colours of Gunze 303 and 309 for the camouflage and apart from the pilot name, all decals came from the VFA Productions Skyhawk sheet.

Hope you enjoy the pics at least as much as I enjoyed building it!
