MSRP $105.00,purchased from Sprue Bros.

--------------------

I've always wanted to open up panels on the Skyhawk and this set allows you to open the gun bays beneath the aircraft, the nose avionics bays, the linkage bays just above the nose gear bay and the engine access on the sides of the aircraft.  You also get detailed nose and main gear bays, flap and spoilers, speedbrakes, MK12 cannon barrels and cockpit/canopy details.  The details are quite crisp and clear and should show up with proper painting/weathering.

You get a photoetch and film set to super detail the cockpit, canopy, speedbrake and gunbay wells.  The only thing missing here is the hellhole door and hellhole engine details but this set will keep you quite busy.

                                 If you're looking to open up the Hasegawa A-4M this is an excellent set to pick up.

This set is available through the Sprue Bros site.
