Well I will be honest....I have 2 vol's of the A-7 and will pick up the third for $5 on sale this weekend. After some time flying it I've got the hang of it. Just wish I had time to learn the weapons missions. anyway....I do love this A-4 for sure.! Many paints will be coming along for it too. :salute:

Well....repainting, huh? Could I request one for VA-195 when you get the time?
 
sure thing!


Here is my current one...not sure I'm gonna put it out there though as the stripe on the fuselage has some odd stretching to it and itsn't 100% correct. Still some work to go on it though. Actually...I would hope to be able to do about 5 paints of 151046 in various units including VMA-311 with no avionics hump, VMA-131 hi-viz and low-viz, and finally VC-1 in a two tone gray aggressor scheme.

No at Simmarket all transactions are done i euro's. But comparing the two, Simmarket takes what equals to 51.35 USD and PilotShop takes 42.50 USD.

That's because Simmarket needs to charge VAT to European customers since the company is based in Europe.. People from outside Europe do not need to pay taxes if they buy at Simmarket. Which is why I prefer to buy at other stores (In the USA or Australia) since I do not need to pay taxes there.

I like the look of this Skyhawk but will wait patiently until the next big Virtavia sale..
 
Any shine on the external cockpit glass (pet peeve of mine with some add-ons)?

The model looks awesome!
 
I really like the Scooter, it was the first model plane I assembled along with the F-4 and A-7. Trying out the paintkit:

Montie , took me a why to buy a plastic kitset .. only one around back then was the humpless airfix model .. after a while succumbed to it .. but just did not look right compared to our humpy camels ... gone three decade now .. no hump .. crikey no skyhawks :icon_lol: BUGGER ME !

Great start on your paint :cool:<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
 
Saw the A4 VC shot over at avsim, really looks nice. Does this thing have a collimated targeting reticle/HUD?
 
Just a little more tinkering......is anyone interested in this paint even with the stretching of the diamonds on the fuselage band? Can't se it in this angle but from overhead...a couple of the diamonds are rectangles.
