1/48 Hasegawa A-4F Superfox (Skyhawk) "Cylon 3" VA-127


One from 2010. Again not as weathered as perhaps it should be. This was a pretty simple and quick build although I did fix the wings by removing  the step



 It is also the first model I have had published in a magazine, the Italian publication "Model Time" (issue 238)
