This may be lightly modified in a certain way.

I was SO close to building this one.... looking forward to seeing this one progress.

^^^^^ But please, do not stop. You would build it in 1/48 and I am absolutely sure your paint job would be superbe.

Ian the Kiwi Herder · June 17, 2008, 09:43:59 AM

H*ll no !

1:72 Waaayyyy to small for me. Few years ago I built the 1:48 Occidental Gina just after it came out...... It is approximately 65% filler/30% bad language !

I'll leave leave this one to you

Go for it.

^^^^ and I will not use the Revell kit, but the Airfix

I like to punish myself

Update

Do you know? as I forgot to scratch build side consoles before closing fuselage

I had to add a pilot

Security note: 2nd pic is blurred to avoid pilot identification

Well I guess that US Army would load the simple and small Gina with tons of avionics, eventualy

I will consider A-4M as a modification model.

Looking very nifty Carlos ,are you eliminating the fuselage guns?

John Howling Mouse · August 09, 2008, 03:02:33 PM

ahhhh, the avionics/ECM hub is a stroke of genius, Carlos. Good call on that!

It will have a pair of 20mm guns, like German version.

Lookin' good Carlos!

Mossie · August 12, 2008, 12:40:18 PM

Almost looks like an A-7 with that hump, looking good Carlos!

Interesting project Ysi - right up my street!

Wen't they 30mm DEFAs?

nev · August 16, 2008, 02:44:59 PM

Good call on the avionics hump mate

Like the pilot as well.

Thanks to all of you!

BTW: I am thinking to equip this plane with two Mavericks. Would it need any bit to use them properly? I mean designators, rangefinders or the like.

A plane preferebly devoted to close support, flying low, would need a jammer?

Thanks,
Carlos.

PD: the nose will be configured as the nose of a Skyhawk A-4M
