One model per (non-working) day

[chicharrero]

Good morning Bruno.
Seeing the advances in your exquisite Arado Ar-234 it occurs to me
that would be a candidate for a recolor of Brent.
With the already existing Me-262 recolor, they would form an extraordinary couple.

Thanks for the kind comments.
Did another build. The wings just seem a little bit drooping down in my opinion, but nothing that cannot be fixed.

That's another one that lends itself well to some cool schemes.

Amazing additions to my friend!

Yep, including Spanish Civil War.

Another much desired addition Bruno! The SM.79 had only slight wing dihedral anyway and from some angles look a bit drooped.

Sparviero! One of my favorites. Glad to see this one.

Indeed it had, although mine has a little anhedral
Nothing a wing-to-wing piece of cardboard can't correct.

If it can't be corrected just say it was one of Antonov's early designs.

Will be the first of the series.

I'm in the middle of building one of your 1/100 A-4E Skyhawk models. Such a neat kit! I scaled it up to 1/72 and am converting it to fly as an indoor glider.

I tried for ages to dry-fit the roots of the upper wing surfaces to meet the fuselage cleanly, without success. Finally I realized I needed help and went back to the original build images... to discover that on the prototypes the wing bottom surface was cut down the middle, with the two halves spread a few millimeters apart when glued to the fuselage. Ack! The only hint of this on the plan was a small dotted red line off the part, which on first impression I took to be a centerline indicator, not a cut. Please, ya gotta give us schlubs a little more of a clue than that, or possibly fix the plans by adding in the necessary width so it doesn't have to be split. Looking back on this forum, others have missed it too.

Again, major respect, hugely appreciate the volume, variety, and fidelity of the Scissors & Planes kits. Just pleading for a wee bit of kit-specific guidance for the tricky bits.

If you have a little patience in a month or so I should do a walkthrough of the Skyhawk A-4K (AF-1 Falcão) from the Brazilian Navy. Although I have never built the A-4 who knows my step by step and possible mistakes (if they happen) can help you.
