Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Good job Dizz.
 :thumbsup:
I've got a couple of Skyhawks in the stash.  I should build them.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Thank you. I am also amazed how many Skyhawks have been piling up here recently: the Uruguayan one, then the A-4L and now this Spanish beauty. And there's at least another one on my agenda, even though it will be a major conversion project.

Will that be a twin-engined version then?

Gondor mate I fully intend to do that exact same thing..but in 32nd scale   :wacko:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Yes, but that's only a part of the very thorough conversion plan.  :mellow:

Ah, so bits of a Skyhawk will be involved.

I have plans to build an aircraft which involves parts from three donor kits and I imagine that what you are going to do is similar.

My project is actually a recreation of something I bashed together when I was MUCH younger. Now, being wiser and more skillful, I want to replicate the core concept (also based on three major donor sources, but probably with a lot of other extras) with some improvements. For instance, the original build had the landing gear from a F-104(!) that retracted into the fuselage with a very narrow and low stance - this can certainly be improved!
