Sorry about splitting the pics over three posts, the forum will only allow me to post two pics at a time.

Its been a long time but here is an update on my 1/48 Hasegawa IAF A-4N

Cockpit done and masked

Image

Base colour is Mr Hobby H-313 acrylic (Yellow FS33531), I think its the nicest paint I have used, very little smell, went on beautifully smooth even unthinned and works great when thinned with water.
I wish we could get this range of paint here in SA.

Ja, off the top of my head, there are a number of promised / uncompleted A-4's on this thread, I won't point fingers. :lol:

I have a few jars of this paint that was gifted to me from a used collection.
I struggled with this paint and my airbrush, not use to acrylic paints, but I will agree, it does go on well, some folk say it is the best paint on the market.
The best place I could find this paint, and price, is from this online store. To search, enter "Mr.color" http://www.luckymodel.com/

So I only realized now that I never posted my finished A-4F in the GB thread, or on the forum at all, in fact...

Here are a few quick snaps...

I will try to take better pics when I get time. Suffice to say that I finished it quite some time ago...

Special thanks to S70B2 for the generous donation of the decals!!

Really nice aggressor Scooter :smt023 Great paint job. Only comment - shouldn't the interiors of the slats be red. Only asking because the Grey and white Navy ones were like that.

Hiya Malcolm...

According to the pics I found online, the 3 tone brown Aggs didnt have red slat interiors....

Thats an interesting fact for future Agg builders... research, research, research!
