  Subject: A-4F Super Fox gallery article pt 1 of 2

  Hi Steve

  This is a gallery article of my last build which is a restauration of a very old work. It was quickly done as some "rest" between "serious" builds.

  Cheers

  1/72 Esci A-4F Super Fox VFC-12 « Fighting Omars »

  This is my Esci A-4F Super Fox in the colors of the VFC-12 « Fighting Omars » in the late 80s/early 90s. I restored it to a desk model from an old build I did as a child.

  This « Super Fox » version is almost a racer (1:1 weight/thrust ratio, 6G turns without energy loss...). It was used as an effective & simple Aggressor aircraft before the arrival of the Hornet. The Blue Angels also used this version of the « Scooter ».

  I took the tail carenage and the refueling probe from an old Hasegawa OA-4M kit. Guns are suppressed and antennas are scratchbuilt. VFC-12 patch was given to me by a friend of mine working for the French Navy who also used to work with the US Navy (of course, patch comes directly from NAS Oceana !).

  It is painted using Gunze H333 « Harrier » extra dark sea grey with a touch of blue and black inside. Decals were home conceived with a well known vectorial drawing software and printed by FFSMC Productions.

  I hope you liked it !
