Having re-watched one of my favourite films recently (Good morning, Vietnam) I've been inspired to make something from this conflict, finally deciding on Eduard's A-4 Skyhawk kit Vietnam Scooters. It's someone else's basic kit (Hawegawa?) repackaged with some Eduard extras, including a resin seat, etched cockpit details and control panel, canopy mask, and a comprehensive set of markings for six different aircraft.

Other than liking the look of the Skyhawk, I know next to nothing about these things, so I'm looking for help from you guys on iModeler for any hints, tips, pitfalls to avoid, etc. I bought this kit from a Chinese website, but I note that our good friend Bernd is advertising it on his site for a very reasonable price http://www.berndmm.de/en/eduard-limited-edition-kits-vietnam-scooters-limit.html. Thanks for looking.

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at this "re-boxing", George...my Eduard F-4 Phantom (Academy plastic), contains the same 'goodies' as your A-4 - as for the original kit, I'm unsure [as you are] of the genesis of the first edition. Let us if you find out. Looking forward to your build.

Keep us "in the loop" as your build progresses, George...we wanna know how it goes.
