Started a Skyhawk

It's a 1000 times better than the old tool
Closed up the fuselage

And added wings and elevators

I recently built one of these for the Vietnam GB, nice little kit. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Looking forward to seeing her done!

I bought that kit recently after watching a Skyhawk flying around in the Airshow 2 months ago. It looks nice!
