Yes, very, very good!


Especially for a Shi..duck ... er ... Squawk (he adds, taking firm aim at friend FAAMAN, ex-Skyhawk techie & long-time mate).

LOL - years ago, I saw a custom-painted scooter in town than was called "Shy Talk". Didn't realise what it sounded like until I said it out loud to my mate. We were both struggling with the "entertaining" charactertistics of '80s Moto Guzzi motorbikes at the time, and since their logo is an eagle, we christened it the "Sh*** Hawk" from then on.....  ;D

Doing an FAA variant is primo :)

where can I get the nose from?

the A-4C radar nose and the Red beard come courtesy of Freightdog

Cheers Jeff - I don't think he's got the Skyhawk nose in production at the moment, but it's always worth asking because he sometimes has extras or seconds or part sets.


Update: I was talking to Colin last weekend and he's getting the A-4C nose masters re-done so he can do another production run.
