Greg W Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Oh, yes. Can you feel the positive vibes coming your way to help this project along? There are a lot of interested people enjoying this project! BECAUSE IT'S GOOD!! Are you going to display it on a diorama base or have it stand alone?

alaninaustria Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hi Greg, thanks for the question - I have a small wooden base earmarked for this bird - she will be parked all alone, with boarding ladder and fire extinguisher out on the flight line. Thanks for the nice feedback - it’s great to see a Skyhawk still gets a few of us excited!! Looking forward to seeing more of your Skyhawk build!!

Greg W Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Looking forward to the day when we can see it! I like Eric Galliers diorama with the wet sandpaper pavement. Brilliant idea. Harold and alaninaustria 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel111 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hello Alan, I will also be doing an aggressor Skyhawks one of these years, I think the old Superscale 1/32 A-7-E VA-72 sheet has many of the decals you may want, it may even be the right shade of gray (I think you can give yourself some leeway on the exact shade of gray given how weathered you A-4 became).

Started to replace the moulded on oversize vortex generators using the Eduard PE set: I began by lightly painting over the provided template guide to properly allign the vortex generators... Hi Alan - I am going to use the Eduard etched VG set on my A4G and wondered what type of glue you are using to attach the VG's - I assume you spray paint through the template to mark the position of the VG & glue over the paint? - any help appreciated as I have not found the instructions that helpful CJP Harold and Marcel111 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) Hello CJP, my apologies for such a late reply - I spray painted lightly over the template with black to mark the exact location, then I used a drop of fluid CA to glue the Vortex-Generators (VGs) down. Time consuming, but well worth it in the end!! I am looking forward to seeing some of your work mate!

CJP Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Hello Alan - thanks for that tip - that will help a lot - unfortunately I had a disaster today with my A4G and did it some damage -https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/76932-ran-a4g/page/2/&tab=comments#comment-1129939 I will sort it out but it has put it back a bit Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turecki Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Outstanding work ... a styrene in your hands with this kit get a new life...I love it !! A-4 Aggressor was always for me a fantastic subject for a model... now I know why. After see your work I am inspired to reach my models from stash... but lastly little bit no time for modelling. Some day ..some day. Well done !! Edited December 10, 2020 by Turecki misspelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
