Luke1199 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Hi all! Another Israeli build complete as part of my little project (Next up is an F-4E). WIP below: This is Esci's A-4M/N kit from 1979, its not very accurate to the A-4N at all (wrong canopy shape, wrong exhaust- the list goes on) but it looks like a Skyhawk so it does the job. Apart from some minor warping to the avionics hump and wing slats the fit was pretty good considering the kits age. All OOB, though I painted the canopy frame to resemble the A-4N's more closely. The kit even comes with a fictional IAF squadron. Painted with AK's 3rd Gen IAF paint set and they were superb to brush paint with and the colours look pretty spot on. Thanks for looking in! 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 It looks good enough to me. Well done on the build and painting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansReggelsen Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 It looks like a great scooter - and one can not have too many of those! Cheers Hans J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell209 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Some of those ESCI kits still hold up well. I almost bought one of those recently and then managed to find a Hasegawa A-4E/F kit at a reasonable price. Nice work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
