1/72 Fujimi A-4B backdated to an A, decals from kit and bin.  Tamiya paints all around.

Very well done Scooterman!! :) :) 8) 8)
Just a question, didn't A4D-1's retain the original wing tip nav lights for their whole career? Always a bit guarded with the Fujimi A-4's just like the Airfix "B" they have their problems :( :(

Yep.  Nobody did the early lights right even in 1/48. Didn't feel like messing with it.

Very nice bird, looks so right.  it does make you wonder what they could do with a QAV-8A; might be fun to play with.

That's really hot, Scoot! Love the overall orange scheme! Not something often seen.

Very well done!
