Post by giulio_gobbi »

Douglas A4P Skyhawk - Airfix NT 1/72, straight from the box, painted with Maimeri Acrylics.
I tried to represent an aircraft assigned to the Grupo 5 de Caza, Fuerza Aérea Argentina, May 1982.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing
