Just like the first One Week Build got me building after several years, this one got me building after several months away from the workbench.

No pics yet I'm afraid due to some camera issues, but here is the summary so far:

The Kit:  1/48 Pro Modeller (Hasegawa) A-4F Skyhawk

The Build:  Royal Navy Skyhawk FG.5, probably either Balkans c. 1999 or Arghanistan c. 2007.  Still in with a chance is an earlier nuclear-armed FRS.3 c 1981

Progress so far:

Cockpit assembled, painted gray.  Detailing to go

Resin Verlinden MB Mk.10 seat painted (the RN wouldnt go for an ESCAPAC seat, right?)

Intake/fan painted

Tailpipe/turbine painted


More porgress reports though the build, with pics soon hopefully
So I got that going for me...which is nice....
