Nice! These A-4s are great subjects

@Jeffrey - Thank you. I'm enjoying learning about the A-4 variant and their color schemes. Too bad for modeling (but probably good for national security) the A-10 has fewer schemes to select. Go ugly early!

@Michael - Keen observation. It only worked because the Argentine camo is mirror imaged on the a/c long axis. Full disclosure, some minor touchups were required after I mated the subassemblies.

@Michael, thanks for the kind words. I'm looking forward to applying the lessons to a 104 FG A-10.

You set a high bar. I'll do my best to bring some respectable air to mud results to the Naval Aviation party :-P
