Hi guys!

I would like to present you my latest model. It is Kuwait's AF A-4 from the Desert Storm Operation period. It is 1/48scale Hasegawa's kit made OOB.

Good job Marcin. I'm a big fan of the Skyhawk. The "remove befrore flight flags" are a nice touch. Nice work. Wingman out.

Really nice. How did you do the intake caution marking?

Thank you for all kind words.

Giacomo -> I've made seatbelts from Tamiya yellow tape.

Mark -> I have don intake red part by masking it with Tam-tape and then spraying red paint. White arrow with DANGER was in the set of decals. I cut the tape to shape using as a template the part from the decals.

Thanks, It looks great. I'm struggling with an old 1/72 Skyhawk and wondering how to do a similar marking on the intakes.
