UKPonchoMan Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I'm planning to build an A-4N and TA-4J - I'm not an Israeli expert and understand that the exhaust pipe was extended for IR purposes... Is this a simple tube extension, or was it more complex? Thanks in advance! Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I'm planning to build an A-4N and TA-4J - I'm not an Israeli expert and understand that the exhaust pipe was extended for IR purposes... Is this a simple tube extension, or was it more complex? It was a little bit more complex, though not much - you can view a review of an 1/48th conversion with a good shot of the tail extension here. You can save yourself the effort if you do an eary bird, incidentally - the pipe was a retrofit after the 1973 Yom Kippur war. HTH, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RJ Tucker Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Here's mine built in 2001 or so (WARNING: shameless plug follows!): 1/72 Fujimi IAF A-4N Skyhawk II Ron's Resins made the conversion that provided the extended tailpipe & the 30mm gun pieces. HTH! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BAE-Systems flys ex IDF/AF A-4N's from Wittmundhaven and they are parked about 100 meters from the back door of my squadron. SCOUT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UKPonchoMan Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Scout - that would be fantastic!! I'm not building IDF aircraft - I'm actually planning to build the A-4's operated by ATSI and ATAC. Whatever you can come up with would be MUCH appreciated! Many thanks, Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope this helps somewhat Thanks - I'd not seen this item but will go check Hannants. As for the Ron's Resins, I could't find it on the site that sells his parts, but I DID find an alternative supplier - Eagle Designs. I've emailed them and am awaiting a response...
