Well, there it is. The fuselage. Sort of.
The stencils were added early to help me get a grip around the Skyhawk's subtle curves. So too were the interior cockpit highlights.
My references - so far - are a "walk around" book on the A-4 series, a drawing done by an unknown artist and a 1/48 scale model. And each one is frustratingly different. Frankly, I don't know what panel line to trust.
Oh well - the tail/rudder will come next, along with masking in the wing, elevator and tailpipe assembly.
I'm still 30 days from completion...
