Like that Geo

The coaster has an old print of Blue Penguins, one of 3 types we have in NZ, and the world's smallest.

I have read it has issues with wheel bays and radome shape, but none of that bothers me, it looks like an Su-27, so good enough for me.

Looks great so far Karl

In progress...

Spitty (Airfix, new tool) filled and sanded. Once radiators are painted, they can be attached, and external painting can begin.
The second TA-4 has wings attached now too. Both still need filling and sanding yet (both 1:72 Hasegawa TA-4Js).

Note, the second TA-4 has replacement wing slats, as I bought it second-hand and they had been removed and discarded. I cut a set off from an Italeri A-4E I was given, with deformed wings and lots of excess glue. That is now a parts donor, but I still wanted to make an Israeli A-4E from it, so I grafted the head onto an Italeri A-4M, which will be suitably modified.(Join to be filled and sanded yet)

Nice work, gentlemen

Cheers Guys, and nice work Karl!

Spent all day assembling and fitting major components.

Wing leading edges are 2 parts glued together then fitted, seemed a bit unnecessary as they cant be posed drooped anyway.
Fins just resting in place for now, as i will paint them separately then fit them after to make life easier when painting the engine bays.
