A-4K Wing

Opened up the cannon ports and mounting holes for the pylons.  Then clamped everything down for the glue to set.

Also swapped over the lower anti-collision light with the fuel dump.  Carefully sawed off the light base to move it.  The fuel dump was easy in comparison.

A-4K Cockpit

 Added the little pouch and put paper in it.

Stock Hasegawa cockpit except the Escapac ejection seat.  It is a True Details resin one with scratch-built lap-belts and ejection handles made from thin wire.

Kiwi A-4K


So started yet another Skyhawk build.  Took the Pro-Modeller A-4E that is a re-box of the Hasegawa model kit out to build an A-4K of the Royal New Zealand Air Force.  I have decided to model one early in their service which means the reinforcement plates on the sides of the intakes must be removed.  Here I have removed one.  The separate inlets also have part of these plates, so they have to be sanded away also.
