Kit: Hobbycraft A-4b Falklands fighter

Version : Argentina Navy (3°escuadrilla aeronaval de caza y ataque)

Registration aircraft n° : 3-a-308

Painting : Topside of the fuselage was done with Humbrol n°129 

               : Underside was done with Revell white

painting flag drift :Humbrol n°47 + Revell white

I did not used the flag decals that came Hobbycraft kit for the drift and the aircraft (too ugly to my taste and very nice in the airbrush painting).  Before I applied the decals (armada, anchor and miscellaneous), I airbrushed a little gloss varnish in their place.  From Eduard I added 1:48 (remove before flight) tags on the 500 kgs bombs.  Weathering on the plane was done with a mixture of diluted black with white spirit.  Brightness of painting on the airframe with of the aluminium painting.  I can finally contemplate my A-4q that I dreamed!

For the pleasure of those that love the Argentinean Skyhawks, in my home it is the Skyhawk factory.  Below is a pic of me with my models kits of Argentinean aircraft to construct in the future.
