Hello everybody.

This is my first post here.
I start with my latest bird, an Israeli A-4N SKYHAWK.
Enjoy!









This one took almost a year to built, and has a full detailed interior:






COCKPIT




LANDING GEAR



FUSELAGE INSIDE




TAIL



DETAILS





See you!

Outstanding model Dionys!!! What a beatiful detail job!



Sorry for miswriting your name, seeing it I instantly thought of Schiller's "Die Bürgschaft" (the Hostage .. no, not the movie) First lines go:

"Zu Dionys dem Tyrannen schlich
Damon den Dolch im Gewande."

ahh, a bit of culture in this plain world

cheers

Hi Steffen.

Thanx for your comments.

At this time, culture is more interesting that the Greek reality

Do not be too angry. Even if it may appear to you as if it is a Greek "phenomenon" .. it is not! it is a common problem ... though we Germans do not want to go outside on the streets too easily ... Problems arise when we do

all the best

I am not angry. I am disappointed. Belonging to the most people that do pay their taxes, do declare everything, do see our salary remaining the same for ages, I realize that this was only for our 300 parliament members to become reacher and reacher, leaving nothing but debts and desperation for us.

The problem is that even now, we all wait for someone else "to do something".

Anyway, this is a place to have fun, therefore, thank you all for your kind comments.

Keep modeling!

Hi Dionysis
That is a superb build. Realy like the stance of the A-4, always looks aggresive and ready for a fight.

For those interested, I have used the following detail sets:

1. A-4N Ayit (Eagle) Cutting Edge Modelworks Conversion Set (CEC48323) - Hasegawa A-4M did not exist at that time.
2. Aires A-4M Skyhawk Details Set (4360)
3. Cutting Edge Modelworks Super Fox Details Set (CEC48316)
4. IRADECALS (ISRA60) Decals Set

DEFA guns and the radar rack have been scratch built.

This looks great! I've always been tempted to build a Skyhawk in New Zealand markings.

Thanx mate!
This is a real war machine! I also love the radar cone, a feature very uncommon for a skyhawk.
