The AMSHOW Plastic Modeling Podcast presents our first group build.  After careful deliberation over what topic to build, we decided to copy the Model Geeks and do another A-4 Skyhawk Group build!  HAHAHA, just kidding!  We have been wanting to do a Skyhawk build for several years, and as Hasegawa has recently reissued the TA-4J in 1/48 scale and the upcoming 1/48 scale A-4M from Magic Factory, I thought is was about time to start building some scooters.    

the rules are as follows: You MUST use an A-4 Skyhawk.  Scale doesn't matter.  You must build it however you see fit!  If you want to build something in a Steam Punk theme, make it into a transformer, or something from the Maschinen Kreiger universe, have at it!  Kitbash with a harrier and make a VTOL version, it is all up to you.  Get creative!   You can make it in any genre as long as you use an A-4 Skyhawk kit.  You can even dig one those shelf queens off of your shelf of doom.

Judging will be done by Ken Reed and Steve Kemper, hosts of the AMSHOW Podcast.  We will be judging strictly on construction and presentation.  All aspects of period correctness, detail accuracy, and authenticity are out the window because although we love our Scooters, we want you to have FUN!!!  Bribes will be accepted, but won't necessarily ensure you a winning  position, but you might get a sticker.

There will be a winner, and that winner will be chosen on the basis that we like the build!  There will be prizes like stickers, shirts, model kits, or just random cool stuff given weekly throughout the build.  So share your in progress pictures on the AMSHOW Plastic Modeling Podcast Facebook page.   

The A-4 Skyhawk Group Build will begin on November 4, 2023 and will end February 3, 2024.  We will be having a live chat on Feb 3 to announce the winner, then hang out and build some models.

So get your gear and kits in order, we'll be starting in 3 weeks from the time this is posted.
