Douglas A-4 Skyhawk - AIrfix (very old tooling)
Discussion
My productivity is always low between November and the end of January due to work commitments. Once January was out of the way, I bashed together a real "!quickie" as I needed to get something finished as quickly as possible to get my hand in again. This is certainly not the best model I've ever built and it is a rather ancient moulding.
My local model club have an annual competition themed on Australian and New Zealand based subjects. This was my entry. I didn't expect it to win and my expectations were achieved smile.
I could have built Airfix's new tool A-4 which is pretty good but this is their ancient (1958) moulding that I picked up for 50p at Farnborough Modelfest last year.
The markings represent one of the the three Australian Navy Skyhawks that visited Greenham Common in 1977. The refueling probe is scratchbuilt and I added the ribs to the rudder as they are missing from the original kit.
