Hi,

Building this for a friend...the Hobbycraft kit.... my friend wanted it wheels up ..so let's see how it go..

More update..

Fuselage together... wah fitting is bad, especially the hump to fuselage.. big lobang there...

Aiyoo.. putty –sanding session next…

Thomas, I got one Hobby Craft model kit, it's a Sukhoi SU-22 (two-seater) and I'm foreseeing that I will be facing the same problem as you. Mine is worst, the shape of the plane is totally off that I think I have to cut the whole rear fuselage and rebuild it from scratch... :(

Good luck... that is all I can say...

druid...

that's why some called it "HobbyCrap" ......Good luck to you

Ive built one Hobbycraft kit before, and swear never again. Best of luck mate!

Wah, a Skyhawk! Always good to see one built. You've built one Hobbycraft before as a PTM right, so how much harder could this one be?

One thing I remember from my Hobbycraft build is that the small door on the nose gear retraction strut won't fit closed as it's too small. I believe I built it up with Bondite then rescribed the door outline.

Aidy,

Ini lebih teruk dari PTM, The PTM was able to fix without all the rubber band..

and a little progress here...the putty Party on the hump almost there.. working on the intake next..

Finally some update..

Ready for painting..

more progress..

painted...next decal..

kautim this one also...sending it to my friend..he will have to do the pylons and weapons assembly..

Nice job, Tom.

Very neat work. Hobbycraft decals look to be very fine.

thomas..another masterpiece from you...kudos in transforming a nightmare kit into a beautiful model...always love A4 with the dorsal hump...hmmm now when will i start building my Hasegawa kit... :D

Yes very nicely put together, no one can see the problems with the kit now.
The anti collision light looks very realistic and contrasts nicely against the low viz camo.

nice ....more pic please

Looking good. Nice job so far. I have two of those myself to get to.
