A-4B Skyhawk, VA-22 Redcocks, 1963, USS Kearsarge

 

Raw sprues, funny soft plastic, nice finish and nice details. 

Xtradecal X72151 pack with loads of options, decided for a redcock 😄 

No rescribing necessary, already too big gaps. 

Washed bays, turbine and exhaust added 😄 

Teh COCKpit, didn't know whether to chose gray or black for the ejection seat frame, picture show both, none show the specific airplane cockpit tho so decided for black. 

Propperly overengineered 🙂 

All cut and sanded, tools used 

Some filling needed, tools used 

All in FS17875 

Enough for one day, waiting for gray over... AK RC paint FTW 

Finally had some time to continue 

All white and ready for gray over 🙂 

Gray and insignia red done! Very subtle pre-shading... 

And some other stuff which will end up on the model. 

Two coats of Mr Super Clear Gloss as preparation for decals and panelling
