Rethinking

I stumbled across this nice photo of four RNZAF TA-4K/G Skyhawks in echelon formation.  The second aircraft in the aggressor scheme with green&tan drop tanks NZ6255 begs to be built.  So now I am thinking of finishing the Hasegawa TA-4J in VT-22 markings as NZ6255 instead.

AF-1 finished

AF-1 #12 with my other Skyhawks - OA-4M, A-4E, TA-4H, and TA-4J

As the above picture shows, I have finally finished up the Brazilian AF-1 Skyhawk.  It has been an adventure in many ways.  But it has turned out with scratch-building, kit-bashing, and even an after market resin seat and decals; the Hobby Craft kit can be built into a nice kit.

The plane is now on display at Orange Grove Hobby Shop in Gulfport, MS.
