1/48 Hasegawa A-4M Skyhawk

VMA-324 Devildogs

This is my first submission to this website. Here’s Hasegawa’s 1/48 A-4M Skyhawk, built out of the box with the exception of the decals. This kit was a pleasure to build.  The fit was absolutely perfect with little need for filler. I modeled an earlier era A-4M than the kit instructs because I liked the VMA 324 decal scheme. The correct tail fin fairing is enclosed with the kit, and you omit some of the other antennae. The decals are a combination of kit, Superscale, and Promodeler  decals. A lot of techniques I picked up from this very website. I made a few “boo boos” and there may be a few inaccuracies, but am happy with the overall result.
