Platz / Eduard A-4 Skyhawk in an in flight display. The Scooter looks quite nice on the ground but really cool in flight. I am a bit curious how it will come out in the end.

Happy Modelling, Christian

Spanjaard
I am sure it will come out fantastic 🙂, base looks great already

Christian Bruer
Thx Spanjaard 🙂 It looks quite nice when in place, but I have one point with the acrylic rod I will use and the hole in the background to hold it. I thought about to place some cotton around it, but I am not sure. But let's see, time and test will tell.

Panel line wash and colour modulation.
Happy Modelling

Really neat, and subtle too. Can't wait to see the finished display 🙂

Landlubber Mike
Thanks for following guys. Lochsa, you're right about the canopy. There are fit issues in general with this kit - most of which aren't too difficult to deal with - but the canopy is a bit of a mess. I'm not really looking forward to that part of the build.

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here too!

Landlubber Mike
Thanks for joining Robert!

Nice detailing and progress 👍

Transall NG
A nice and strong landing gear !

Landlubber Mike
Thanks guys! Transall, it seems a lot stronger than the kit parts which were made from pretty thin plastic.

Pietro De Angelis
Beautiful work, congrats!

Landlubber Mike
Thank you Pietro! Still a long way to go. In the middle of priming the fuselage and having gap and other problems popping up. This is the build that never seems to end 🙁

gorby
Amazing work on the landing gear.

Landlubber Mike
Thanks Gorby! This was my first time trying to scratch build landing gear. Took me probably 20 hours 🙁 I ended up using Albion Alloys brass tubing for a lot of it, along with music wire, copper wire, plastic tubing, and other materials. I've bumped it a few times already and it is very stable so fingers crossed it makes it to the finish line!

Mr D
Nice 😀👍 a water-bird , nice work and like the extras

Landlubber Mike
Thanks Mr D! Really appreciate it!

Jennifer Franklin
I love all the scratch building, especially the landing gear; it is very nice! It's a great result.

Landlubber Mike
Thank you very much Jennifer!

Michael Kohl
Time to replace the teaser picture with one of your build. 🙂

Landlubber Mike
That might jinx me!

Michael Kohl
Oh yeah. You gotta be super-careful with that. This site is full of black magic. Pssst. Between us: I know for sure because it's the only explanation how some guys here achieve their otherworldly results.
Happy modelling - but watch your back 😉

Landlubber Mike
Yeah, I know what you mean. Some people here are ridiculously talented!

I ended up finishing the JRS-1 tonight. Finally pictures in my album. And Michael, I did replace the teaser picture with my final build - now that it's done and stored in my glass case, much less risk of jinxing myself!

gorby
WOW Stunning result Mike!
Looks like you might be one of those ridiculously talented people. 😉

Guy Rump
Excellent modelling. 👍

Neuling
I agree with gorby and Guy. 👍👍

Curatorm
A masterpiece and a delight for the eyes, bravo!

Alec K
Very well done 👍

Michael Kohl
Excellent result.

Landlubber Mike
Thank you guys! This one was a tricky one for sure, but I'm happy with how it came out. Definitely a cool paint scheme, very colorful bird!

Ctirad B
A beautifully made kit of an unusual aircraft! Bravo!

Landlubber Mike
Thank you Ctirad!

This is turning out to be a fun little project. Very simple build, and painting. Trying to figure out best weathering technique in this scale.

This project is now nearing completion. I just need to make a base and attach all the ships to it. New photos up soon.
