  Steve,

      I know it's been a long time, and there's been quite a lot of changes since then. I would like to once again make a request to be a contributing member of ARC. We've all done things we aren't proud of, and I'd like to turn the page on the past and move on. As I've said before, I'm willing and ready to apologize to anyone I've had past transgressions with. I hold no grudges, and would like to rekindle a working relationship. As you may have heard, I'm now in the US Army, and becoming a part of the military has had a deep, and profound effect on my life and how I deal with it. I'm quite a different person now.  I live with the prospect of having to deploy every day, and so in the meantime, I only strive for getting the most out of life and continuing to do the things that make me happy. Being a part of ARC was one of those things at one time, and I'd like to revive that. As a peace offering, is the enclosed submission for the gallery of my recent A-4SU build. It's entirely up to you if you want to publish it or allow me to return as member, or not. 

      Again, I do apologize for anything that has transpired in the past, and I hope we can put that behind us, and drive on. Thanks for reading,

  There isn't much mystery to this one. It's a Scooter, what can you say? The original Singaporean A-4s were converted C models into S models. Later upgrades added the more powerful F404 engine and this some scoops here and there, and the designation change to A-4SU. This is how they are in their current guise, flying out of France for the RSAF.

  The kit is built completely OOB. No fancy work here, just a good quick and fun build. The Hasegawa A-4s are excellent kits, with a lot of  'preresearch' done for you already. The instruction sheet indicates which holes need to be filled, what scoops need to be added and even a plan for the blade aerial on the tail, which I made form plastic card. Being that it's in the instructions, it's still OOB ;-). The model was painted with Model Master enamels, right out of the bottle, though I added a bit of Piping Pink to the tan. Future for the gloss coat, followed by some slight weathering and an overall Dullcote.

  About 25 hrs, and out comes a Singaporean Scooter! This kit was a blast to build, and I have another on the bench already. They really do grow on you.
