stefan schweden Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 May I ask for your help? I started Eduards new Skyhawk kit. I have Hasegawas weaponset B which contains Bullpup missiles, LAU-10 Zuni rocket pods and one TER. I have no bombs. I will probably build the A-4E shown on the boxart ( VA-72 "Blue Hawk" USS Independence 1965). What´s more realistic ? Wingtanks and Bullpup on outer wing pylons or a combination of LAU-10 Zuni and empty TER on centerline? On the other hand: if I want to use Bullpup: is it more appropriate for A-4E with or without electronic hump ( in that case I like Eduards decaloption B most, its VA -195 "Dambuster" USS Oriskany from 1969 ? ). Another question: centerlinetank? Is it the same as wingtank without those little tips on the end or completely different form ? Thanks for your input. Stefan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 You can use the hump with or without a Bullpup, here is one with a Bullpup under the left i/b pylon with a fuel tank on the other side: http://a4skyhawk.org/content/148474-va-146 One with a Bullpup and the Zuni on the other side: http://a4skyhawk.org/content/buno-154983-va-212-nf-310 With LAU-10 Zuni rocket pods and a c/l tank: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/A-4F_Skyhawk_with_Zuni_rockets_in_flight_1968.jpg Walleyes were also dropped by A-4s, don’t know if the squadrons you had in mind did or not: http://a4skyhawk.org/content/151113-va-212-official-us-navy-photo-3015 As for the tank, you can put it on the c/l pylon, just use part F8 as the end cap.

stefan schweden Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Thank you Finn for your help. The centerline tank option part f8 is not named in eduards instructions, i think i will use the bullpups in combination with a centerline tank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
