Michael, I am a big fan of A-4s. I am working on three right now in 1/72 scale.

Wow, welcome everybody find a spot where you can. Soeren, the only things I've noticed is the tip of the vertical tail is the normal angled style and various antennas. Apart from that I think everything else would be internal.

Looking good so far Michael. Love Scooters. I remeber seeing the Blue Angels flying the A-4s. Awesome show they put on in them.

Hi Michael. Great idea for the presentation however a note before getting too far! if you're using the Hasegawa A-4M kit you'll need to source an E/F windscreen. The M has a rectangular windscreen whereas the Kiwi jets had the oval shape.

Thanks for the info Michael, I'll grab the windscreen out of the spares box. I just so happened to fly a Hasegawa A-4E/F kit into a wall so I'm pretty sure I have the windscreen.🙂

Nice one. I may or may have not done something similar to an AM Yak-1b years ago.

I'm sure every modeler has done this at least once in his life time.😢

There are always some builds that have a tendency to orbit around the dust bin 😄

Beer down here too Holly, but not for much longer!
Augie, you can have my armchair. I need to stand up for a while.

Plenty of room for you Augie, Peter, what are you saying I'm slow.😢 Sorry mates just got caught up in other flying machines and my M1075 truck needed some researching I had to get off my back. I'll now knock this one out of the park in a more timely fashion.🙂

Album info
This A-4, from RNZAF, NZ6202, was involved in a bird strike accident on take off during an operation during Pitch Black Darwin, 1984.The aircraft had to wait for an engine change and was therefore left behind after the Sqn redeployed back to it's base in Ohakea in New Zealand. While it was still in Darwin it was "zapped" by 75 Sqn who painted there emblem on the tail. It's known to be the biggest and most complex "zaps" ever applied to another Air Forces aircraft.
