TJTX Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Accepted my first and only commission build in the spring and finally got it wrapped up. It's for a former coworker who flew with VF-43. This is the plane that had his name on it and it took 3 separate decal sheets to piece together the markings I needed. I forgot how much I absolutely hate working in 1/48. Building for money kinda took the fun out of it, so I dont think I'll be doing it again. Anyway, here she is and now I can get back to the one true scale. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun to build with minimal issues, although, I am building an old Hasegawa 1/32 Skyhawk, that was a nice easy build. All I added was a pilot in a seat, and a pair of rein Defa cannons. sometime old kits build nice too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusMac Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Looks great. Always think the A4 looks a bit 'weird' as a two seater. If you're looking for a great jet kit then as 1to1 says you can't beat Tamiya for a pleasant build. Their F16s are nice to build and great looking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great build, painting and very dynamic setting with the blurry underground, nice, but I have to agree with Gus, the two seater looks wrong with the second guy sitting so close to the tail in such a small frame. Cheers Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Rob It's funny, I'm the exact opposite. I prefer the two seater but my dad flew two seat A-4s so that's how I've always seen them and why I have q connection to them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
