Interesting subject, Daniel, looking forward to your updates.
I have this kit in my stash,to build as an RNZAF a/c, so I hope to pick up some tips 👍

Not sure how I missed this one, the Skyhawk is one of my all-time-favorite aircraft and this project is really cool! Will be watching for sure!

Made some little progress today adding some antennas which Airfix didn't count in.

Started the weathering, some chipped paint useing a sponge and Tamiya silver and grey. Washing with dark grey oil colors. Slightly silver drybrushing for the "walkways" on the wings.

Would say, the Skyhawk is now nearing completion, only a few little components are missing.

As the Scooter is nearly finished, I started work on a simple little base. Only a piece of apron and meadow.

Finished this project today, added a last few pieces to the Skyhawk and painted the pilot. Spray painted the infos about the jet on the base using homemade masks.

Sehr schön geworden. Passt ja zu 2022, da sich der Falklandkrieg zum 40 ten mal jährt.👍

Thanks guys 👍
@Christian ...das Jubiläum war auch tatsächlich der Auslöser für den Bau, hätte ich sonst so nicht auf dem Plan gehabt.
@Finn ...yes right, the chipping was done with some Tamiya paint and a sponge.
