Brenhen Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Here are some pictures of my finished A-4M. There is somewhat of a build thread here: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=287249 The kit is Hasegawa's A-4M Add ons: Cutting Edge ejection seat Brassin mk 20 rockeye cluster bombs Brassin LAU-10 rocket pods Eduard A-4 photo etch ladder Eduard A-4 wheel set Paints were Model Master Acryl and Mr. Hobby Aqueous Decals were Furball Low Viz Devil Dog Scooters (I think these were just re-issued. If you have not used them, get them! They are incredible decals) Hope you enjoy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fighting Eighty-Four Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Wow, that is fabulous! Everything looks just perfectly executed. I just bought those decals and have a Monogram OA-4M and a Hasegawa A-4M in the stash to use them on. If my builds turn out half as nice as yours I will be thrilled!

Darren Roberts Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 NOICE!!!!!!!!! Did you use the Steel Beach stab mechanisms? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brenhen Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 NOICE!!!!!!!!! Did you use the Steel Beach stab mechanisms? I did! It was my first time using them on the 1/48 A-4. They look great once the process is finished, it's just always a big leap making that first cut! It's too bad the Hasegawa kit has the molded in stab pieces. The Trumpeter 1/32 approach is a lot nicer for making the typical parked look of the Skyhawk. I did a build up in the group build section that shows a little of the process I used for adding your stab mechanisms, if you're interested in seeing it. Thanks for the great products! http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=287249 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
