Hasegawa's A-4C kit
is an excellent representation of the famous Skyhawk with minimal construction
issues. Complimenting the great engineering of this kit, I added the
following:
1) Eduard's A-4C
Photoetch Zoom Detail FE280
2) E-Z Masks for the
canopy
3) Six Mk. 82
Snakeyes along with a MER (multiple ejector rack) from Hasegawa's Weapon
Set A
4) Aeromaster's
Early Scooter's decal sheet 48-733
My model represents
A-4C BuNo 147710 of VA-93 (Blue Blazers) on the USS Enterprise that served in
Vietnam, 1966.

I used a combination of Model
Master and Tamiya acrylic paints. Weathering was achieved with pin washes
and filters of raw umber, lamp black and titanium white oils followed by varying
shades of gray pastel. My weathering techniques are described in some of
my previous ARC submissions.
Another great Vietnam bird for the
collection.
Enjoy!
