. Its taking me back to the old matchbox kit i did as a kid!!

Thanks Tony yes thats why i wanted the A4 the Airfix one was the first kit i did many moons ago

 

[michaelm]

looking great Ian. M

Your making a really good job of this Ian.Pity the wing decals have to go over those vortex generators.No doubt you will touch them in with black paint.

 

[flyjoe180]

You are giving me enthusiasm to do more on my Phantom with this Ian, your A-4 looks great in those Navy colours. A touch up on those decals over the vortex generators will finish them nicely. Nearly there, watching all the way.

 

[papa 695]

Thanks Dave and Joe Yes they will get a touch up been waiting for micro-sol to dry they just would not conform over the vortex generaters

 

[mossiepilot]

Looking nice Ian, the AM pilot looks good and a nice save on the weight problem.

looking forward to seeing more.

Tony.

I've known people (though not me) to cut the vortex generators off, and re-attach later if they are in the way - which they often seem to be !

 

[flyjoe180]

Personally if I were faced with /172 scale vortex gens, I would not be cutting them off for reattachment later.

Far easier to do it the way Ian has.
