Excellent work Sir!!!

Thank you Chris @theRCgeek for the triple ejector rack and mk-82's. Painted everything up, mounted and rebalanced. Also did a little weathering. Looks a tad thick, but used some finishing pads to mute the weathering a little after these photos. Overall looks great and I can't wait to get this scooter back up in the air.

Looks good to me. I really like what you have done with it.

In regards to cheater holes. You can cover it with some screen door material for a better look. It still allows all the airflow but keeps out rocks and it paintable to match the fuselage.

Anyone happen to know the type of steering arm for the nose gear? I'm not seeing it on the parts list and the extra Type F I have is too large.

[brk6188]

Mine is the shiny metal one which I think is common to many of the Freewing 80/90mm EDF nose gear units. Probably cannot buy as a separate item ?

[bill34207]

I'm pretty sure it's the type B https://www.motionrc.com/products/fr...nt=19073358278

[purduephigam]

Gotta be A or B. A says it's for the 80mm jets, but I think I might have an extra B so I'll give that a shot.

I just finished my Dad's A-4. I purchased it to be a project that my kids and my dad could work on together. He passed away before we could really get started on it. My kids and I finished it. It is the aircraft that he worked on the most #13.

After a year and a half I've finally cleared off enough previous projects to get around to unboxing and assembling my FW A-4.
I've always liked the unit insignia of VMA-324 but the limited availability of decent art work forced me to take what was available, mostly via photographs and Photoshop my own. I've only found one photograph of an A-4E with the unit "Devil Dog" insignia so this is the aircraft I depicted. Other than national insignia and nomenclature all markings are waterslide. White stripes on rudder are hand painted after red spray paint. Overall satin clear coat.

Hello Gents, I'm a long time RC pilot and have had an RCGroups account as well as YouTube for quite a while now. Recently several folks have suggested that I might consider joining Hobby Squwk too. Some of you I recognize already, but I would like to say hello to this thread first as I have been working my A-4 as a camera ship and flying it the most recently. This video shows where my mind is with RC if you don't know me.
