Excellent news. Fujimi's A-4s are still, and by a wide margin, the best A-4 kits available. The only problem is that they are not actually all that available, I hardly ever see them on offer. I recently stripped one of them with oven cleaner to give it a make-over.

 

I wasn't aware of Hobby 2000, they have more interesting kits on offer I see. Pricing and shipping is pretty reasonable too.

Can one build a late RNAZF A-4K from this boxing?

TA-4K from the OA boxing is closest you can get.

 

I really hope they repop the whole Fujimi skyhawk range.Aggressor markings!.

I was actually expecting Italeri to do a Fujimi A-4 repop but looks like Hobby 2000 beat them to it. Not sure who is in Hobby 2000's marketing team but they really have a good eye for kits that deserve reissues. :)

Can we get a Israeli A-4?

Afternoon all. Well my self-imposed buying kits embargo went right out the window when I saw this. Bought a A-4m from super-hobby for a reasonable £17. Hopefully if they sell lots of the M and oa-4m they will re-box other versions.

Also, both boxings contain all parts for a single-seater A-4M and twin-seater OA-4M, as well as a common canopy mask sheet which covers single- and twin-seater. Only decals are for the version on the box top.

 

With aftermarket decals, either box is good for any of two versions.
