That’s a great little A4 Cliff. 

Hopefully mine will be joining yours soon.

Thanks H. 

I've got the Takara boxing of your M sitting in my stash, so I'm looking forward to seeing yours with its decals on

Looks great in flight.  I almost regret doing mine wheels down as the stalky gear on the Skyhawk looks a little bit silly.

Thanks AW.  Stalky gear is good too though!

I've noticed a couple of other differences bewteen our two as well - the antiglare panel and the refuelling probe.  I was surprised by the probe in particular, presumably a change in design at some point?

The earlier Skyhawk refuelling probe was the straight one, the kinked one was a later design I believe to stop any fuel spillage from coating the front of the canopy.  I have seen photos of RAN Skyhawks with both so I assume they were delivered with straight probes and had the kinked ones retrofitted later.
