Well, my niece's son has built a 1/48th Skyhawk and has asked me to paint it. His dad just sent me photos of possible paint jobs and a pic of this build was one of his choices! I hope you don't mind if I use it. No idea where he found the photo but it's pretty cool paint job. Wait until I tell him I know the guy who built it!

Nice Skyhawk, Thomas!

2 questions ...where the hell have I been and why haven't I seen this before ??.
This a bloody brilliant build Thomas ..your paint work is not only affective but extremely well done.
Mate this is one of the best small scale A-4s I've seen..awesome stuff

I feel honored, please proceed. Apparently, some linked pictures have gone to Nirwana after editing them at FlickR, sorry for that.
After all, the paint scheme is (while unique to Tunisian F-5s) not copyrighted, AFAIK, it's just quiet exotic.

Cool, and I am curious!

Here's the promised pics.

Not too bad for an old Skyraider decal sheet. I had to add the blue band with the white stars to make it eye catching for the young man. I manged to wrinkle it with my big fat fingers. He's really happy with it, I just hope his younger brothers don't get to it! Thanks for the inspiration Dizzy!

That looks terrific!

NARSES2 · January 10, 2023, 06:38:01 AM

That does look good

Dizzyfugu · January 10, 2023, 07:37:56 AM

Different than expected, but nice, if not "colorful".

Wardukw · January 10, 2023, 08:03:51 AM

If I was a young dude and that was something I helped build..I would be chuffed to bits with that ..that's a sweet looking A4 for sure

I'm just wondering how long before he asks me to paint another one!
He also treats my model stash as a discount store. The little bugger walked out with an F-100 and an EF-111 that I was never going to build. I've given him a T-33 and the A-4 already.
