1/48 Hasegawa A-4C Skyhawk - Argentine Air Force - "Malvinas"


Recommended Posts

As a fan of anything Falklands related, this is really special, love the attention to detail with the weathered paint particularly the blue over yellow markings it looks just like photos I've seen of the A4's at the time. Great work all round!

Depicted as the Douglas A-4C Skyhawk C318 from the Argentine Air Force flown during the 1982 Malvinas (Falklands) war.

This kit was built as an entry for the 2022 NSW Scale Model Show's  40th Anniversary of the Falklands Conflict category.  It was also built to take part in the Model Geeks Podcast's A-4 Skyhawk Group build.  

 

There is a full build post and more pictures at my blog but here's some photos

Gorgeous A-4C! Paintjob is beyond fantastic and that base give the kit a perfect environment to shine. Congrats!

Just excellent presentation. It has a real meaning of business to it. I love the mismatched drop tanks. Gives it a sort underdog feel. I respect the Argentine pilots bravery in this little bird. Bravo!!!!
