Cockpit Questions

A-4N with wide-angle HUD and MFD installed were a blank plate was on Crystal A-4Ns.  This is possibly the RADA modification.
Doing a bit more digging to see if the RADA upgrades were done to any of the Israeli TA-4s, especially the one I am building - 544.  So far I have found zero pictures of a two-seat Ayit with the big HUD display, only the original gunsght.  Here is a close-up of the front cockpit circa 2008 of an unidentified TA-4.  This is a head-on view of 544, again 2008, and we see the original gunsight.  This is TA-4H 542 landing in 2008, still no large HUD.  Here is A-4N 302 in 2008 and notice how the windshield is filled from the side by the large HUD and warning lights.  So it appears no two-seat Skyhawk had the RADA modifications.  If new information pops-up, I will post it.

And it looks like the answers to my camoflage questions for 544 have been answered with this picture of 545 landing.  Xnir is the bomb when it comes to awesome pictures.
