As the title says; my project is to build one of the falkands/malvinas A-4B or C for the next year; Turbine prefered...
Is there any kit for that? noted is that the nose and cabin are different from the most built A-4E...
Scale info will come from the pilots who flew the plane in the war, so I just need the kit itself.
Thanks
Guille

No - no kit exists of the earlier skyhawks - they are all E/F models.
However - Tam's skyhawk is completely wrong in the nose. It looks more like the A/B/C/L version. It could more easily be reworked into an earlier model.

I agree, I am absolutely an A4 Skyhawk junkie.....and the CARF is the premier kit to have.....but prepared to mortage the house because this level of museum does not come cheap. I would though, if I HAD the funds, purchase this kit, and I don't nomally say this when it comes to spending an enormous amont of money on a jet kit, but this kit I would!! Happy New Year

Hi !
Fully agree , the CARF A-4 is the only one from my point of view - most sexy airplane in the world and best company to buy from
Mine is nearly done, awaiting the last scaledetails from CARF and I am ready to paint
Got masks and decals from Tailormadedecals for a VC-1 Hawaiian scheme - nice
I will properly have to buy a second one in the near future and do it more simple as Blue Angels 4
Regards from Denmark and Happy New year

jetteffx those are same feelings after seeing the CARF A-4 in person at top gun 09 and till this day the CARF A-4 still on my mind i believe my dollars would be well spend due to the level of engineering and design of CARF A-4 indeed all high end kits are aggressively price but the CARF A-4 has that IT FACTOR along with the rest of there scale models......Bang 68 how long did it take u to build the CARFA-4 and how would u rate the instruction manual. thanks
