whiskey Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 If only one could get a Hasegawa 1/48 TA-4J, at a reasonable price as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Just as I was contemplating a DIY conversion - these resin parts look very nice so I'll put my conversion on hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what you view as a ‘decent price’. I bagged one recently for less than £30, though the upcoming release might make them available for a lot cheaper. Looking forward to this conversion kit.

HLJ has them available to order for $24.77, or roughly 19.90 of your English Pounds + shipping of course! https://hlj.com/1-48-scale-ta-4j-skyhawk-hsgpt43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartDeco Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Oh yes. I started with the Monogram a while ago, rescribing, adding new rivets and semi scratch building the cockpit. But I think I will go for this set now. René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that's one good thing about HLJ's private warehouse feature. Just wait until you have a large number of items and then ship them all at once. You'll pay the VAT on the total value of goods plus shipping, which will be less than if you had the items shipped individually, but only one charge to PF.

Shame I didn’t know this a few years and a lot of stash ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskey Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Thanks for the info on the kits fellas. I'll probably just buy a couple of the conversion sets and wait on the kits themselves. At least this way I can clear some shelf space by getting rid of the couple Monogram kits I already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 It’s a very easy conversion if you cross kit a Hasegawa TA-4J with a Hasegawa A-4M, no cutting of parts or kits required, everything is included in those kits to make an OA-4M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not quite as simple as a "cross kit": http://www.arcair.com/Gal13/12301-12400/gal12360-A-4-Braman/00.shtm The hump needs to be modified. The port intake needs a small inlet carved out. Neither is particularly difficult, the trick is figuring out the locations and dimensions. And, if you wanted to get fussy, the rear part of the OA-4M canopy where it meets the hump is a little different than that same bit on the TA-4. I didn't worry about it, just like I didn't worry about the fact there are some slightly different radio controls in the back seat. But yes, it can be done, and you can still build the M kit as an early version without any problems, provided you have decals for one. However if you want a TA-4KU/AF-1A, you'll need to rob the larger A-4M intakes as well, which makes building the rest of the A-4M kit "difficult".

Homebee Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Source: https://www.facebook.com/PhaseHangarResinAccessories/posts/10156854415088802 Quote A good chunk of the Skyhawk masters are here (not all before anyone says what is missing like hot dog fairing etc) and these things are stunning. Left to right, A-4M/Super Fox intakes (these will replace set 48042), TA-4KU/AF-1A intakes, OA-4M/OA-4AR intakes, canopy fairing and antennas, OA-4M/TA-4KU/Af-1A hump, And the OA-4M nose. Hope you like. These are iPhone pics. Better shots later. These guys are going swimming in RTV in about an hour! V.P. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUCIANO007 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Any idea where we could find decals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boman Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/decals/fad/decal_fad_48010a.shtml Might be hard to find - if I recall correctly this was Furballs fastest selling sheet ever, and now the second print is sold out too. Glad I bought 2 sheets back when it was first released 😎 Edited August 20, 2019 by Boman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
