Some great viewing of some great builds, whatever the source!

There is no need to apologize, because I think that all model designers have their influences and paragons as is Bruno (and others, too) for me. So there is really a part of their work in that one of mine. The most important thing is the fact that there are new models appearing all the time and that there are great modellers who build them. Have a good luck in modelling!

I agree with Gerry.

While another Bruno vanHecke masterpiece, credits go to Cafe for the superb repaint and upscale to 1:200. This is the A-4K in New Zealand all green camo.

How anyone can build this in 1:300 is bewildering to me. I lost the microscopic antenna that goes on the front part of the vertical stabilizer. I had it in the tweezers, about to apply glue and "ping". Gone. I have plans to add the external tanks and then make another attempt at the micro antenna. The landing gear was a real challenge. Half the build time was expended on the landing gear.

I really appreciate the build demonstration by Cafe of the A4. It really helped.

Many thanks go out to Bruno and Cafe for this gem.

That's a great build!

To be honest, I originally made the landing gear for Ojimak's Skyhawk (print it at 30% and you get a 1:200 model) and didn't adapt it to Bruno's model. The main landing gear fairings are a tiny bit too long (1 mm I think).

Yes, I noticed. They protrude just a little bit, but the casual spectator will not notice.

These little planes really are gems.

I agree, nice Bruno, Carlos, and Sygrod.

pd by the way, Stratford is a nice place to see Shakespeare or Gilbert and Sullivan Operettas
