This
is my 1/48 Esci (ex-italeri) A-4E kit #
4021 that I converted into a A-4C. I used a conversion set from KMC
and decals from Aérocalcas. This conversion is for a A-4C of brigada aéra
Argentina during the Falklands war 1982. I dreamed of this Skyhawk and
decided to build it. I chose to begin my model by using the Esci A-4e.
I then cut the nose, the A-4E is a little longer that the A-4C. My KMC
set helped and of course I used cyano (glue).

I
used the following Humbrol paints for the camouflage on my
Skyhawk:30,28,129,89,33. To darken the panel lines, I used a pencil,
so as
not to risk making a big disaster on my paint job. I
am a fan of the Argentine Air Force
and I
intend to build all the Argentinian Skyhawks.
Yes,
I have some bread on the plate
