HM IAF Skyhawk

Just had this one touch down and gave it a quick look during lunch....


The paint job is stellar, and the wash is much more lightly done than say on the Italian 104 -- looks suitably "dirty", so I like the wash with this model.

The missiles and rockets you can put on the outboard pylons are still a bit crude and just painted white from nose to tail, and the gear is tough to install in the lowered position, mine required glue -- which is setting now. I'll snap a few very quick and dirty pics in a bit. And still no pilot...

That said, this is the Skyhawk to have so far in my opinion, though -- can't wait to see a matching Phantom and Mirage (please).
