Just about to head up to Phoenix for 12 days, so not going to get much posted before I go.

This is the Hasegawa Top Gun boxing, which includes all of the parts necessary to build an early A-4K in the SEA camo scheme. To the kit, I will be adding the following aftermarket:

  1. Master Models NATO refuelling probe
  2. Quickboost A-4E/F gun barrels
  3. Eduard Brassin LAU-10 Zunis
  4. TwoMikes Resin 300 gallon centreline tank
  5. Gekko Graphics RNZAF A-4G/K Skyhawks part 1 decal sheet

I plan to add a pilot from the spares and build the jet in flight. Plan is to depict NZ6206 as it is starting its firing run on the trawler.

30 March 1976

Flight Lieutenant Jim Jennings became the first, and only, 75 Squadron RNZAF pilot to fire the guns of his A-4 Skyhawk in "anger" when he was ordered to fire at a Taiwanese fishing trawler, the KIN NAN.

The kit:
