Hi
Today I would like to present You start of build new model form GMP - A-4M Skyhawk. This is new model, not remade earlier version of GMP model (yellow and green cover). This model design E. SZCZETININ (presentation). I decide to make US Marine version of this model.
First remark, parts don't have center mark. It could make some dificults for not "pro" modelers. Solution: make this marks self. At least there will be some landmark. Alternatively, you can follow the pattern of rivets on the element. Harder way on reinforce elements, because mostly they are ellipse shape.
OK, so lets go:
In build I use laser cut structural elements form GPM. I start from center segment
Along the side wall ends I added 1mm cardboard reinforcement for better stability
Next back segment
Both segments are over main wings module.
