This is my Hasegawa A-4 Skyhawk E/F version in
1/48 scale. I built the model straight out of the box.

I used Tamiya and Gunze paints for the model, and
Aclad 2 for the exhaust nozzle and the guns.
The weapons consist of KMC Rocket Pods and the
Hasegawa Weapons set for the Mk 82's. The fuel tanks came with the kit. I used
a dark wash ( enamel black paint ) for the panel lines and added post shading
to the kit. This kit really has nice
detail.
I built a base and added the Hasegawa Maintenance set to give the base added look. The RBF tags are from Mike Grant. The cockpit tub is real nice , I used the seat that came with the kit , but the next time I am going to use an after market one.
I would like to acknowledge David Angust for his grateful help in helping me with the many
techniques he explained to me on the Skyhawk. I could not of done it without his help."
