Outstanding job!!!!!!How did you make the FOD covers and where did you get the exhaust nozzle from?????. TIA. Bjarne Intake FOD was made by using a rubber stick u can get it anywhere in the shop, exhaust nozzle FOD made by a plastic card, The exhaust nozzle is original hasegawa exhaust nozzle part, just been extended 2CM and u need wrap a piece of plastic card to increase diameter,some tamiya putty,superglue,sending are needed U can also find this exhaust nozzle from hobbycraft A-4N kit if u dont want spend more time, it has got more weapon maybe u can use. So far i know Cutting Edge produced A-4N conversion aslo included that exhaust nozzle but it is no easy to find. good luck mate Edited April 11, 2008 by Jack-pilot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does the Hasegawa A-4N come with the extended exhaust nozzle, or did you completely scratch build that portion? It sounds like you had to extend it a bit and increase it's diameter. As well, does the Isra decal include the art on the tale? I don't see it on any online views of the decal sheet in question. I'd love to build an Israeli A-4 but would prefer not to buy the Hasegawa A-4N unless it has the exhaust extension. I have a bunch of the Hasegawa kits at home plus if I were to buy more I'd buy the cheaper Pro-Modeler version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hasegawa A-4N dosent have extended exhaust nozzle, i did it extend 2CM and increase it's diameter. no much work need to be done, IsraDecals gives almost all versions Israeli's Skyhawk marking, and u can use it for complete 2 Skyhawks included most necessary stencil data.

Thanks, there is no need for me to fork out the $50.00 for the A-4N boxing then when I have so many kits at home. Plus the Pro-Modeler Skyhawk, which is the same kit, is all around town at $25.00.
