Italeri 1:48 A-4G Aussie Navy

[jonf45]

Hi, 

As ive not built anything for ages, I recently grabbed a couple kits to do from the stash to try and re-ignite a bit of interest!!

First off was this 1:48 Italeri A-4G Skyhawk, which i decided to do as 154906 of the Royal Australian Navy, HMAS Melbourne, circa 1980.

Went together relatively well for a cheapish kit. As usual, a few mistakes on my part (possibly due to trying to do it whilst inflicted with man-flu) including realising i forgot to paint the engine intake edges red!! A bit heavy on the weathering to hide a few other issues, but it was a fun kit to hopefully get me back into it!! 
Airbrushed using Mr color acrylics and weathered using Flory washes.

Anyway, a few pics

I believe the natives would refer to this as "Bonza mate".
