A-4KU 1/48 Hasegawa "Free Kuwait"
Posted by Tom Plasti on Thursday, August 20, 2015 2:41 PM

Whats up guys?

I'm so glad, this is my first post here. I'm Thiago, a.k.a Tom Plasti (from the instagram, may you knew my account), from Brazil.

I waited to start this one before share something here. I think this model gonna looks good. At first, i appologize about my bad english, again, i'm a Brazilian modeler, and don't speak that mutch...

 

So, let's go!

I am pretty happy with this one cuz is a gift from a friend who is Kuwaiti F/A-18's pilot. The A-4 fought on Gulf War against Insane Saddam forces, and after all, they sold that birds for Brazil. I had the honor to see these birds flying.

What was this:

Now is that:

By the way i'll built this one as "Free Kuwait".

The cockpit:

Panel:

After some work:

Putty time:

Liquid paper for the thin parts:

And testors putty for the rest:

Tonight i'll work with sandpaper, and make this little buddy ready for paint!

See you, guys!

 

Tom

Welcome Sign

Very nice work so far. 

Don't worry about your English, you communicate just fine. I am actually jelous of your English because I cannot speak a word of " Brazillian "
