Hi again!!! This time I'm posting my 1/16 scratch building A4B-Q, -not defined yet- Skyhawk model, it was built taking along a year of construction, using plans worked on CAD, and printed on an Cannon plotter.

The original model was used on the Malvinas war during 1982 using a different cammo, a full overall grey and reduced sized flags, that is the reason by the plane was named "El Tordillo" remembering a colour of a local horse, the number was C-222.

The construction start on a central wing box, and I did worked from the left to right, the wings are on the same way, then, the central fuselage section, doing more later the cockpit and engine section. Landing gears and inboard gear secs. was the last on construction.

Next project (now on the central fuselage stage) it`s a Chinook CH47D scratch model on 1/16 scale, If you want to e-mail me, do it at irigoyenmarcelo@yahoo.com.ar  Thanks !
