Douglas A-4 Skyhawk

Hasegawa 1/48 A-4E/H IDF

Early Skyhawk variants used in the IDF included the E and H models. The H variant had an upgraded J-52 engine together with improved avionics and 30mm guns instead of the 20mm guns. In addition, a rear cover on the engine exhaust pipe was [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 A-4E Skyhawk

Here is my Hasegawa 1/48 A-4E Skyhawk that I just finished. It was my first Hasegawa Skyhawk and I enjoyed the build. My model depicts “Old Salt 301” from VA-163 Saints, flown by CDR Wynn Foster in 1966. I added a Quickboost seat, [...]

Review: MAGIC FACTORY 1/48 Douglas A-4M Skyhawk

Having built a number of A-4's over the years in 72nd and 48th scale. Those kits, Fujimi, Monogram, Hobbycraft and Hasegawa pretty much had the same philosophy of assembly with some minor differences, for example the Hobbycraft kit nose [...]

Review: Magic Factory 1/48 A-4M Skyhawk

Hasegawa 1/32, Douglas Skyhawk A-4F, "Lady Jessie"

Kit is quite old, and not so fun to build, but I managed to complete it. Raised panel lines are surely not my favorites... Intake should be naturally white inside, but I noticed it too late in order to fix it. Not the only mistake I'd [...]

1/48 TA-4PTM conversion

1/48 Hobbycraft A-4PTM

A-4PTM Here is the Hobbycraft 1/48 A-4C, which comes with Malaysian markings, and a number of issues to be fixed! I built this as an A-4PTM (Peculiar To Malaysia) a long while back, when the kit was first issued. The A-4PTM was developed [...]

Retired project

Retired nearly 2 years ago and thought I would return to something I hadn’t done for over 55years! Glad to see Airfix models are still around so I bought a few to begin. A few mistake have been made, eyesight not what it once was and [...]

AF-1 Skyhawk Brazilian Navy

Seeing the Hasegawa A-4M built as an AF-1 inspired me to post pictures of an old build of mine. This is the Hobby Craft A-4N "Israeli" boxing that also came with decals for the Brazilian Skyhawks. I built this kit back in 2013. [...]
