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

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

Gondor

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

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!

[Gondor]

I look forward to that build
