aircommando130 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I always liked the A-4...watched them fly with the Blue Angels and I liked the colorful "Top Gun" jets too. Great build...looks just like a Skyhawk should! Cheers...Ron CJP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJP Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 20 hours ago, MARU5137 said: your SKYHAWK is the BEES KNEES.... Top Notch of a build. I love it as she is STUNNING. { question: why are they called Scooters?} thank you. Thanks MARU5137 for taking a look at my A4G - not sure why they are called Scooters - maybe because of their relative small size and long undercarriage legs? - maybe someone on here could advise on this CJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg W Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Great subject, great build, love it. Fantastic job, especially since it was a re-do of an old assembled kit! Thanks for sharing this so we could follow along with all the ups and downs and see the final result. Greg CJP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
