How many 1/48 A-4 Skyawk's are there?


Recommended Posts

I'm going to do a fun little project and build all of the different manufacturer's 1/48 A-4's. I'm going to build them completely OOB, including any weapons that come in the box. I want to see what they all look like when built up. I think I know all of them, but I wanted to make sure. Let me know if I'm missing any.

Fujimi (Testors)

Monogram

Hasegawa

Lindberg

ESCI (AMT/ERTL, Italeri)

Hobbycraft

The AZ is a repop of the Classic Airframes kit, as Seminar is a repop of the 1/50 Fujimi. There was an Oriental Models 1/50 (I think), but likely a Korean repop of the Fujimi.

Apologies for the confusion regarding the AZ Model kit. Didn't know that.

Remembered there was also a Revell kit, also produced by Revell/Lodela in Mexico, which I think was 1/50:

I hope I'm not messing things up here again!

Academy also reboxed the fujimi 2 seater as well as a few other Korean manufacturers.

I have had over the years, 4 different boxes of the fujimi 2 seater. The one in my signature is one of those off brand Korean kits.

What is a "Skyawk"? sounds like some sort of flying Kayak or something like that.

Your build idea sounds like a cool display, Darren,,,,,,,,,I can't wait to get to see the posts when you finish it up.

Holy cow! I didn't even see that I'd missed the "h". Wow I'm getting senile! :D
